Kadri Sammel is a singer-songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and interdisciplinary artist from Tallinn, Estonia.
As Bedless Bones, she experiments with electro-noir, building bridges and bending the borders between darkwave, EBM, techno beats, industrial sounds and otherworldly atmospherics.
In advance of an all-new third album later in 2023, Metropolis Records is proud to announce an extended reissue of ‘Sublime Malaise’, her 2019 debut album, which adds four remixes to the original record.
‘Sublime Malaise’ is an exploration of a shifting state of being, a juxtaposition of vivid abstract sensations and the mundane dullness of existence; the corporeal ailments and the boundless routes of the mind. These themes can also be found in the numerous videos Sammel has created for the project.
Sammel’s influences are vast and varied. She has spent a decade singing in choirs and has studied cultural theory, audiovisual media and photography. She is a member of Estonian avant-garde deathbeat/outdustrial outfit Forgotten Sunrise and the singer in the UK/Estonian dystopian industrial band Deathsomnia. Additionally, under the alias DJ Dirt Vessel, she has been a crucial part of Beats From The Vault, an underground event series in Estonia that has been in existence since 1998. Her captivating and transcendental live sets see her performing dark industrial techno, EBM, darkwave and post-punk.
With Bedless Bones, Sammel has performed at festivals that include Wave-Gotik-Treffen (Germany), Cold Hearted Festival (Germany), Castle Party (Poland), Kalabalik på Tyrolen (Sweden) and Tallinn Music Week. She has shared stages with acts as varied as She Past Away, Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, New Model Army and Sex Gang Children.
