The Marías recently visited The Anthem in support of their new album Submarine, and Micaela Cerball was there to photograph the show!

This article was adapted from a press release.

In May, The Marías released their highly anticipated sophomore album Submarine via Nice Life Recording Company/Atlantic Records. Submarine represents themes of solitude and exploration for The Marías, delving into the complexities of human emotion and what it means to choose solitude, and the pain and beauty so inextricably interwoven within it.

On the release of Submarine, frontman María Zardoya shared, “Through this album, I was able to transform my pain into tangible words and sounds. We’ve never been more proud of a project. Put headphones on and escape into your own world.”

At The Anthem on August 2, The Marías scattered Submarine’s singles throughout the show — including tracks “No One Noticed,” “If Only,” and “Run Your Mouth.” The video for “Run Your Mouth” was directed by long-time collaborator Bethany Vargas with creative direction by Bethany Vargas, María Zardoya and Josh Conway.

Watch the official music video for “Run Your Mouth” by The Marías on YouTube:

Submarine is a follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed GRAMMY-nominated debut album Cinema (2021), with lead single “Hush” going No.1 on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Airplay chart. Known for delivering striking visuals that compliment their dreamlike songs, the band continues to create a unique and transformative experience for fans and audiences alike.

The Marías are the Grammy-nominated psychedelic-soul lovechild of Puerto Rican-bred, Atlanta-raised María Zardoya and Los Angeles native, Josh Conway. The two are joined by their closest friends, Jesse Perlman on guitar and Edward James on keys. Their undeniably intuitive musical chemistry can be heard in the band’s smooth rendezvous of jazz percussion, hypnotic guitar riffs, smoke-velvet vocals and nostalgic horn solos. There’s something undeniably sensual in their dreamlike fusion of jazz, psychedelia, funk, and lounge.
