A Submerged Dreamscape

Submarine finds The Marías leaning deeper into their velvet-soft, nocturnal aesthetic while expanding their sonic palette toward dream-pop futurism. The album floats between hazy synths, muted percussion, bilingual vocals, and sensual atmosphere, creating a world that feels warm, submerged, and slightly surreal. Rather than reinventing their sound, they refine it; sculpting mood with precision and leaning into restraint instead of spectacle.

The songs drift like underwater neon, intimate yet cinematic, guided by María Zardoya’s breathy delivery and subtle emotional tension. It’s an album built on texture, mystery, and emotional quiet, the kind of record that rewards headphone listening and late-night solitude. Instead of chasing big pop moments, Submarine hypnotizes you slowly, building an immersive emotional current that pulls you under.

A Cult Fanbase for Quiet Luxury Pop

Submarine was welcomed as a confident evolution rather than a dramatic reinvention, solidifying The Marías’ place as one of the most recognizable voices in modern dream-pop.

Critics highlighted the album’s lush production, bilingual fluidity, and atmospheric depth, praising its ability to feel both sophisticated and effortless. Some listeners wished for more stylistic risk, but fans embraced the consistency, leaning into the band’s signature emotional haze and nocturnal romanticism.

The album performed strongly across streaming platforms and found a natural home in playlists built for late-night introspection, intimate moments, and curated coolness. It marked The Marías’ transition from promising newcomers to a fully defined artistic identity, commanding a loyal audience that values subtlety, mood, and refinement over loud ambition.
