The Marías have released new track “Hush,” the first single from the forthcoming debut album Cinema. The album will arrive June 25th – and also marks the band’s official debut for Nice Life Recording Company and Atlantic Records.
Cinema will feature tracks in English and Spanish and draws inspiration from the classic films and directors that lead singer María Zardoya and producer/drummer Josh Conway grew up watching, including Pedro Almodóvar and Wes Anderson. The title also pays homage to how the band first began creating music in the first place.
Pre-order Cinema now HERE. Stream “Hush” and check out the album trailer directed by Zardoya and co-edited with Conway below.
María Zardoya shared a statement:
The Marías were born from cinema… The reason Josh and I started writing music together was because of cinema. Through a friend, we were connected to a music supervisor who would send us requests for music for films. We’d receive a synopsis of a scene, and then we’d have to write music to it within a couple of days. Not only did that teach us how to write songs together fairly quickly, it taught us how to think like filmmakers. We’d imagine worlds in our minds based on the synopses – the colors in the scene, the lighting, the actors, the set design, and of course, the music.
