Marble Sounds

About

Marble Sounds is the project of Ghent-based musician Pieter Van Dessel, who launched it in 2007 while living in Montreal before returning to Belgium and building it into a full band. Their sound - layered guitars, piano, strings and understated vocals - earned them a devoted following across Belgium and the Netherlands. The 2013 single 'Leave A Light On' became a Belpop classic, and the self-titled fifth album (2022) drew rare five-star reviews. Sixth album 'Core Memory' arrived in March 2025, marking a shift towards synth-driven pop.
