On the quartet’s second LP, “Submarine,” The Marías sharpen those features without losing the genre-bending experimentation that characterized their EPs and major label, Grammy-nominated debut album, “Cinema.”
“Ride,” the album’s opening track, is an invitation into the album’s landscape. Starting with ambient tones that give way to muffled electric guitar sounds courtesy Jesse Perlman, Zardoya sings: “Careful while you’re cruising/Gonna be a ride/Introducing submarine,” as the sound surges and then dives, taking us underwater.
The album, like its cover and the aquatic world its title evokes, is blue: There’s an inherent melancholy to many of the tracks, all of which were written by Zardoya and producer and drummer Josh Conway. But that ride is still a fun one. The lead single, “Run Your Mouth,” has the same cool, funky confidence of the band’s 2021 hit “Hush.”
