Bernadette is the solo ambient project of post-punk duo Genau’s Chris Belkofer. His debut EP is out now, featuring two tracks that take the cold, gothic textures of Genau while removing the pop structures, creating no wave-adjacent soundscapes. Ominous guitar tones and droning tape loops conjure a bleak yet ensnaring atmosphere, like you’re exploring a vast underground cave with only peeks of light. Bernadette shrouds us in spellbinding darkness with “Panic Songs.”
