WHAT IT IS: The Marías, a Grammy-nominated psychedelic-soul band, blend the influences of Puerto Rican-bred, Atlanta-raised María Zardoya and L.A. native Josh Conway. Joined by close friends Jesse Perlman on guitar and Edward James on keys, they create a rich sonic tapestry. Their sophomore album,
Submarine, explores the theme of solitude, capturing the complex interplay of pain and beauty that comes with it. The album features the hit “No One Noticed,” which is rapidly climbing the charts, #28 on Spotify’s Top 50 U.S. chart at press time, with 108m+ streams to date.
