Acclaimed alternative-pop band The Marías deliver their eagerly awaited debut album, Cinema. The record - which features tracks in English and Spanish – draws inspiration from the classic films and directors that María Real and Josh Conway grew up watching, including Pedro Almodóvar and Wes Anderson. The title also pays homage to how the band first began creating music in the first place. "The Marías were born from cinema," says María. "The reason Josh and I started writing music together was because of cinema. Through a friend, we were connected to a music supervisor who would send us requests for music for films. We'd receive a synopsis of a scene, and then we'd have to write music to it within a couple of days. Not only did that teach us how to write songs together fairly quickly, it taught us how to think like filmmakers. We'd imagine worlds in our minds based on the synopses – the colors in the scene, the lighting, the actors, the set design, and of course, the music."
