Puce Mary is the solo moniker of experimental musician and sound artist, Frederikke Hoffmeier. Oft-identified with the now-generation of industrial noise  - Puce Mary has a reputation for intense live performances that span from gripping renditions of cinematic compositions to the full-on fury of off-the-cuff harsh noise. With countless releases, performances and collaborations with artists such as Kali Malone, Drew McDowall and Loke Rahbek, Puce Mary has reached wide acclaim for her powerful and unique blend of modern industrial/noise music. Born in 1989 in Denmark, Hoffmeier started her career in Copenhagen’s underground music scene, closely affiliated with Posh Isolation and the venue/music collective Mayhem KBH.  With her most recent and critically acclaimed album “The Drought” released on PAN, Hoffmeier expands the field of sound more broadly than before, unfurling a complex sonic and literary narrative of tension and release. Amidst disquieting dynamics and surreal cinematics, she voices existential soliloquies, while swarms of sound lurk and blasts interrupt. The Drought is for the ages to be sure  – “I find myself feeling like decades have passed” she intones on Red Desert – but it is also unmistakably contemporary, giving new urgency to the fabrics she digs – be it the dense textures of Bianchi or litterature of Baudelaire.
