Real name: Marlene Ribeiro

Effective period / Period of releases: 2013

Negra Branca is the project of Marlene Ribeiro, from Gnod, the group based at Islington Mill, Salford. Her sound is a slow burning pot of electronic psych pop, thick vocal loops and wonderfully weird sounds. For 10 years she has been a core member of the notorious psych noise unit GNOD, who have in their repertoire over 30 releases, collaborations with the likes of FAUST and CHARLES HAYWARD, and an ever expanding and explorative line up of projects and musical outlets.

As a solo musician under the moniker of NEGRA BRANCA, Marlene explores an inner world of melodic landscapes, choral pop drones and dream-like states by incorporating a variety of instrumentation, vocal loops, samples and atmospherics.
