Aliens, God, lesbian sex - there is something for everyone in singer/songwriter Mary Dudley Berry’s debut EP Anthropocene, Vol 1. The record combines traditional folk ballads and bops with radically honest lyrics with dreamy and expansive synthscapes, produced by Jordan Lawlor (M83, Friend of a Friend).

Mary Dudley Berry brings a voice that feels both timeless and intimately new. Her songwriting is a quiet force—echoing the inner landscapes of longing, resilience, and self-discovery. With her upcoming Anthropocene, Vol. 1, Berry carves a delicate sonic path through indie folk, dream pop, and cinematic minimalism, inviting listeners into a world that feels at once ethereal and deeply grounded.

Raised in Tennessee, Berry’s musical journey is rooted in storytelling—her songs often feeling like letters unsent or pages torn from a personal journal. Her vocals float effortlessly over sparse arrangements, drawing comparisons to artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Aldous Harding, and Adrianne Lenker, while maintaining a voice wholly her own.

This new collection of songs marks a turning point: a quiet blooming after a long stretch of introspection. With each track, Mary Dudley Berry builds a world that rewards stillness, reflection, and emotional honesty—offering listeners a place to land, rest, and feel.
