Bernard & Edith are an experimental electronic duo from Manchester, comprising of Greta and Nick. I first laid eyes on them at the SWAYS Bunker supporting the majestic GREAT WAVES and Regal Safari… who I only remember for giving a terribly bland live show. In comparison, Bernard & Edith broke down the barrier between the wooden cage (in which they were performing) and the audience by displaying a level of intimacy that only the coldest heart could ignore. Greta was endearing, honest and captivating, piercing the air with her shrieks. Nick created delicate brooding soundscapes accompanied by weirdly hypnotic projections.
