Acclaimed alternative-pop band The Marías released the official music video for their captivating single “Un Millón.” The mesmerizing video stars lead singer María Zardoya and was directed by Bethany Vargas.
The official music video comes shortly after their debut late-night performance of their track “Hush” (which hit #1 on the Triple A radio charts) on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The band recently released a reworked version of Claud’s “In Or In-Between” with Jesse (of the Neighbourhood) and a stunning remix of Phoebe Bridgers’s “Kyoto” which was met with praise from Rolling Stone (“psychedelic”) and many others and more recently released a remix of their hit single “Hush” courtesy of Portland’s very own, Still Woozy.
The original version of the track was released earlier this year along with their debut full-length album CINEMA via Nice Life Recording Company/Atlantic Records. The album was met with strong critical acclaim and has amassed 40 million streams globally and was #9 on Spotify’s Top 10 Album Debuts.
The band’s highly-anticipated CINEMA North American headline tour will kick off at Las Vegas’ Brooklyn Bowl on January 26 and include a show at NY’s Brooklyn Steel on February 17, before culminating with a hometown show at The Novo in LA on March 12. A number of dates have sold out well in advance,
with a second night already added in LA due to popular demand. Tickets are available for purchase now.
CINEMA was written and produced entirely by Zardoya and the producer and multi-instrumentalist Josh Conway – within their LA apartment. In performing the music, the duo is joined by their closest friends Jesse Perlman (guitar), Edward James (keys), and Gabe Steiner (trumpet) to round out the band.
When dreaming up their first full-length, Zardoya and Conway mined inspiration from such hyper-imaginative filmmakers as Pedro Almodóvar and Wes Anderson, achieving an untamed emotionality that acutely amplifies the most intimate of feelings.In addition to those influential classic films, the album’s title also pays homage to the work María and Josh first collaborated on – creating music for film + television scores. (In a nod to the bilingualism of their work, the title CINEMA carries the same meaning in both English and Spanish).
By sharing their album with the world, the band hopes to ignite a creative impulse within their listeners:
“We want people to feel inspired to create anything, whether it’s music or art or whatever else they’re drawn to,” says María. “Hopefully the songs will help them to break away from real life for a while and create some kind of dream world in their heads – something like the scenes to their own little movie.”
