The Marías is an American indie pop band from Los Angeles, California. They are known for performing songs in both English and Spanish, as well as infusing their music with elements like jazz percussion, guitar riffs, and horn solos.[1] Their core lineup consists of lead vocalist María Zardoya and drummer/producer Josh Conway, guitarist Jesse Perlman, and keyboardist Edward James.[2] The band has released two EPs and two studio albums, including Submarine (2024).

History

The band is named after its lead singer María Zardoya, who was born in Puerto Rico and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. She and her partner Josh Conway, the drummer, met at a show at the Kibitz Room, the bar and music venue inside Canter's Deli in Los Angeles.[3] She was performing on the bill and he was managing the sound, something he had never done before. They began writing almost immediately after meeting, and subsequently began dating.[4] Soon they recruited close friends to join as band members: Edward James on keyboards, and guitarist Jesse Perlman.[5] They were offered an opportunity to make songs for television, which helped them understand the visual and sonic feel that they were striving for,[3] but when it did not materialize, they used their recordings to make an EP, entitled Superclean Vol. I.[2] Vol. I was released in 2017, while its counterpart Vol. II was released in 2018.[6]

In 2018, they collaborated with Triathalon on the song "Drip" released as a single.

In 2020–2021, the Marías signed to Atlantic Records. In September 2021, their single "Hush" topped the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay chart, becoming their first chart-topping single.[7]

The band's debut album Cinema (2021) was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.[8] In 2022, the band went on tour in promotion of Cinema and opened for Halsey on her Love and Power Tour.

In 2022, they collaborated with Bad Bunny on the song "Otro Atardecer" from his album Un Verano Sin Ti.

In 2023, they collaborated with Cuco on the song "Si Me Voy", which was released as a single, and also with Tainy and Young Miko on the song "Mañana" from Tainy's album Data. Later in 2023, they collaborated with Eyedress on the songs "Separate Ways" and "A Room Up in the Sky".

In February 2024, the Marías released a trailer for their upcoming album, Submarine. In March 2024, they released their first single from the album called "Run Your Mouth" as well as announcing that Submarine would release on May 31, 2024.[9] In April 2024, they released the second single from Submarine, "Lejos de Ti" [10] and later unveiling their tracklist for Submarine. In May 2024, they released two singles simultaneously: "No One Noticed" and "If Only".

Influences

Zardoya has stated that her influences include the late Tejano singer Selena, Norah Jones, Sade, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Carla Morrison, Julieta Venegas, Erykah Badu, and filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar, while Conway is influenced by Tame Impala, Radiohead, D'Angelo, and the Strokes.[11][12]

Zardoya stated that although Conway was not familiar with her Spanish roots, the band was nevertheless open to experimenting with new styles, ultimately leading to several Spanish-language tracks across their releases.[3]
