Born to a French father and an American mother\, Ma rgaux grew up in Seattle. She picked up guitar first\, then upright bass\, and began writing songs inspired by Motown\, Pixies\, and Dirty Projector s. Bass in hand\, she moved across the country to study jazz at the New Sc hool in Manhattan. Bouchegnies later switched into the writing program\, w here she graduated with a degree in poetry and non-fiction. She first perf ormed original material as “Margaux” early in 2018\, at a DIY show in Brooklyn. Although she was a virtual unknown at the time\, her short set c aught the attention of producer Sahil Ansari\, as well as PJ Sauerteig of Massif Records. Sauerteig still remembers being awestruck at that first sh ow: “Two or three songs in\, everyone in the audience was looking around at each other\, wide-eyed and aware that we were witnessing pure\, timele ss talent. The songwriting was just divine.” The next year\, Massif Reco rds released Margaux’s debut EP\, “More Brilliant is the Hand that Thr ows the Coin” to instant critical acclaim: Pitchfork called it “uncann ily wise and self-assured" (with a 7.8 rating)\, and booked Margaux for it s Chicago festival that summer. In 2023\, Margaux and Ansari returned to t he studio to record “Everlasting Snow” and “Maple’s Loom”--a cou plet inspired by the life and work of Emily Dickinson. Margaux’s backgro und in poetry shines through in her lyrics\, which are equal parts coy and crushing. Margaux is also an in-demand bass player: over the past few yea rs\, she’s recorded and toured with indie acts like Katy Kirby and Dougi e Poole. \; “Inside the Marble” is Margaux’s first full-length s tudio LP. The album is her most mature and inspired work to date–at time s breathlessly intimate\, at other times sweeping and orchestral. Although the album navigates heartbreak through songs like “Ships” and “DNA\ ,” it is more than a breakup album. Margaux also wrestles with the anxie ties of how we grow up and build a life of our own. How we teeter between confrontation and avoidance (in “Dissolve / Resolve”) and end up hidin g behind the boundaries we’ve drawn (in “What Could I Say?”). In Mar gaux’s own words: “The album’s common thread is really about making sense of big feelings. I do love songwriting as a craft but I think a lot of the time it is something I turn to amidst a spike in emotion\, whether that is rooted in heartbreak\, dread\, feelings of love\, or angst… thes e things can feel so unruly inside. Writing these songs has helped me gain a sense of direction and clarity in moments that have otherwise felt like complete internal chaos.” In that sense\, the album’s title refers no t only to its cloudy\, rolling vortex of indecision and fear–it also ref ers (somewhat tongue in cheek) to the idea of “losing ones marbles.” O n nights surrounded by tangled cables and piling laundry\, these ten songs gave Margaux a reason to pull through the worst pangs of heartache and po st-graduate dread. \; “Inside the Marble” was almost five years in the making. Demos for “Midnight Contact” and “Ships” date back to 2019\, and Margaux and Ansari first began chipping away at the album the following year. In the doldrums of covid\, they took an even more experime ntal approach to recording and layering sounds–like using a horse brush on carpet to get the percussive whish on “I Wouldn't’ Want It Any Othe r Way.” The album's final track “What Could I Say?” features birdson g that Margaux recorded at her grandmother’s house back in rural France. (Margaux and Ansari spent a week there in 2022\, where songs like “What Could I Say” began to take shape). Over time\, Margaux and Ansari tappe d other friends to fresh out the arrangements\, including: Willem de Koch (Fleet Foxes\, The Westerlies) on trombone\, Reid Jenkins (Ed Sheeran\, Mo rningsiders\, Taylor Swift) on violin\, and Jonah Smith (Closeby) on backi ng vocals. Although grounded in Margaux’s signature voice and guitar\, t he songs come to life with synthesizers and orchestral flourishes–not to mention Ansari’s tape loops and percussion. \; Ansari also produced \, recorded\, and mixed each song: "The sonics of this record revolve arou nd creating zones of deep contrast with organic sounds. We spent months ex perimenting with layers of harmonically dense sounds—vocal stacks\, peda l steel guitar\, weird tape loops\, horns\, transistor organs\, string ens embles—really maximal stuff to try and pin down these sort of nostalgic\ , blown-out 70s soundstage feelings that are embedded in Margaux’s songs while framing it against small moments… intimate and fragile snapshots. Like the feeling of moving quickly between rooms\, experiencing angular t extures to create a feeling of existing in different places at once. The a lbum was made entirely in small studios in New York so there was a certain degree of introspective imagination we tried to tap into—the fabricatio n of chaos and density and space without ever actually experiencing that a bundance."  \;\n\nCONTACT: music@union.wisc.edu\n\nURL: https://union. wisc.edu/events-and-activities/event-calendar/event/margaux LOCATION:The Rath\, Memorial Union SUMMARY:Margaux URL;VALUE=URI:https://union.wisc.edu/events-and-activities/event-calendar/e vent/margaux END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP;TZID=America/Chicago:20260407T054130 UID:218901@calendar.wisc.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260221T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260221T223000 DESCRIPTION:USA | 82 min | digital projection | Dir.
