The Marías have unveiled their highly anticipated second album, "All For Something," a soundscape that effortlessly blends indie, dancehall, and dream pop. Consisting of 14 tracks within 45 minutes and 13 seconds, the album boldly combines raw emotion, nostalgia, and personal discovery.
Starting with "Ride," a daring declaration of intent, The Marías captivate you in their otherworldly, yet vibrant, atmosphere. It’s a record that won’t be contained, an idea that embraces quirky but (naturally) remains adorned with their shadowy trinkets. “Hamptons” erupts in a whirlwind of instrumental frenzy, insisting on complete motion as María Zardoya’s captivating voice sings, “I’m a little bit in love.”
It delights in contrast, soft yet intense, mournful yet freeing. Notable songs "Hamptons" and "Run Your Mouth" showcase The Marías' talent for crafting mesmerizing soundscapes that capture beauty and enable listeners to immerse themselves in the rhythm of heartache and joy. Through their genre-defining sound, they reaffirm their status as one of the most enigmatic forces in indie music.
A haunting sonic dream that lingers long after the last note fades, "All For Something" resembles an open-ended question prompting you to contemplate, engage, and replay endlessly
