The Marías, an indie pop band from Los Angeles, California, is renowned for their bilingual songs in English and Spanish, blending elements of jazz, indie rock, and dream pop. The band, named after lead singer María Zardoya, consists of María, drummer and producer Josh Conway, keyboardist Edward James, and guitarist Jesse Perlman. Zardoya, originally from Puerto Rico and raised in Atlanta, met Conway in Los Angeles, where they quickly began collaborating musically and romantically.
Their initial leap into the music scene was marked by the release of their debut EP "Superclean Vol. I" in 2017, followed by "Superclean Vol. II" in 2018. These early works established their unique sound, merging melodic sensuality with lush instrumentals. Notable collaborations include working with Triathalon on "Drip", Bad Bunny on "Otro Atardecer", Cuco on "Si Me Voy", and Tainy and Young Miko on "Mañana". The single "Hush" from their 2021 album "Cinema" solidified their standing by reaching the top of the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay chart.
In 2024, their anticipated album "Submarine" was released, preceded by singles like "Run Your Mouth" and "Lejos de Ti". Their evolving discography showcases a commitment to exploring new musical landscapes while remaining authentic to their artistic roots.
