“**💭 Thoughts:** *Submarine*, The Marías’ 2024 studio album has the L.A. quartet taking the dreaminess from their debut *CINEMA* and amplifying it ten fold, in which they succeed remarkably well. This record is easily one of the best dream pop records ever written, and expands on the hypnotic and psychedelic styles of their previous album in the best way possible. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.)

“Submarine feels like The Marías at their most hypnotic and emotionally rich. The lush production, sultry vocals, and cinematic mood pull you into their underwater world from the first track. It’s dreamy, sensual, and full of subtle textures that reward every listen. A beautifully crafted album that proves The Marías keep evolving while staying unmistakably themselves.”
