Review
'CINEMA' by The Marías drifts through the ether like a hazy dream, inviting listeners to float along its shimmering currents. María Zardoya's voice, a gossamer thread weaving through the album, guides us through a kaleidoscope of emotions and memories. The band's unique blend of psychedelic pop and indie rock creates a sonic tapestry that feels both familiar and otherworldly, with tracks like 'Just a Feeling' and 'Calling U Back' setting the tone for this ethereal journey.
As we drift deeper into the album, we encounter the bilingual beauty of 'Hable con Ella' and 'Un Millón', where Spanish and English lyrics dance together in a seamless embrace. The production quality shines like starlight, each track a carefully crafted constellation in the 'CINEMA' sky. Songs like 'Heavy' and 'Spin Me Around' pulse with the weight of complex emotions, their melodies swirling around us like mist in a moonlit forest.
'To Say Hello' emerges as a beacon of raw emotion, its heartfelt lyrics reaching out across the vastness of human experience. As the album draws to a close, 'Fog as a Bullet' and 'Talk to Her' leave us suspended in a dreamy afterglow, their hauntingly beautiful melodies lingering like the last wisps of a fading reverie. 'CINEMA' is more than music; it's an invitation to lose ourselves in a world where sound and emotion intertwine, creating a deeply immersive experience that resonates long after the final notes have faded away. - Estelle
