What happens when you combine an orchestra kid with a harsh noise artist? You get GLITCHLETTE, a genre-defying producer, composer, and singer based in the Pacific Northwest whose music amalgamates classical intricacy, ethereal abrasion, and brute emotional impulse.

After over a decade as a classically trained cellist, she joined her local DIY scene and flipped her world upside down, diving into experimental metal and harsh noise. Submerging herself in pedals, samplers, distortion, and mosh pits eventually led her to music production, allowing her to coalesce her opposing musical identities into a unified expression of her diverse influences.

In GLITCHLETTE’s world, left-field pop songs mutate into something ineffable: orchestral synth swells explode into noisy tectonic shifts, ethereal motifs splinter into stutters and loops punctuated by progressive breaks, and her three-octave mezzo-soprano serves as the guiding thread for those traversing her labyrinthine soundscapes.

GLITCHLETTE manages to maintain emotional resonance within an experimental framework by swathing technical precision in layers of visceral authenticity, creating something familiar in feeling even when it’s unfamiliar in form.

EVERY RAT WANTS TO CRAWL IN YOUR MOUTH AND CLEAN YOUR TEETH (2025)

Her sophomore EP EVERY RAT WANTS TO CRAWL IN YOUR MOUTH AND CLEAN YOUR TEETH, is a tale of classic heartbreak with an experimental twist. Written partially during 2020 quarantine and spiritually inspired by arthouse horror films and the postmodern novel House of Leaves, EVERY RAT filters emotional collapse through seismic sonic shifts, where soundscapes mutate from ethereal adagios into explosive breakdowns that cohere through GLITCHLETTE’s dynamic vocal hooks.

The EP sat unreleased for five years as Marceau left an abusive relationship and weathered the effects of career shifts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The original files were lost, leaving Marceau only with the demos. “I decided to release these versions instead of remaking them because they’re a perfect snapshot of my emotional urgency in the moment I wrote them,” Marceau says. “I’d rather they sound unpolished than unrecognizable.”

On EVERY RAT, GLITCHLETTE writes about heartbreak the way some describe horror: as complete existential devastation. Each track is a different act of one narrative: a lovelorn romantic's futile search for freedom from obsession, capturing the internal terror of being haunted by something, or someone, you can’t have.

Though softer in sound than a typical slasher score, EVERY RAT lovingly borrows from the language of cinema: tension and release, tonal shifts and left-turn plot twists. It carries the emotional viscera and ethos of psychological horror — the monster is never seen, only felt.
