Margaux (Margaux Bouchegnies) is a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter whose work represents a sophisticated intersection of indie rock, slowcore, and jazz-pop. Emerging from the Seattle scene before relocating to New York, her sound identity is defined by a 'less is more' philosophy.
Her debut EP, 'More Brilliant Is the Hand That Throws the Coin', established her as a master of intimate, guitar-driven songwriting characterized by breathy vocals and clean, melodic fretwork. Her 2024 full-length, 'Inside the Marble', saw her expanding this palette to include more complex arrangements and a richer, studio-polished warmth while maintaining her signature hushed delivery. Critically, she is often grouped with the 'new slowcore' movement, sharing a sonic kinship with artists like Indigo De Souza and Sour Widows, though her harmonic choices lean more toward the sophisticated structures of 70s singer-songwriters and contemporary jazz. Her cultural position is that of a 'songwriter's songwriter', valued for her technical restraint and the emotional weight she carries through subtle dynamic shifts rather than overt theatricality.
