Submarine

by The Marias

Overview

Returning with an even more cinematic version of their smooth and seductive, retro-futuristic narco-pop, the Marías (singer María Zardoya and drummer/producer Josh Conway, with Jesse Perlman and Edward James) follow up their Billboard 200-charting debut, Cinema, with the thematically lonelier, breakup-informed Submarine. Across its 14 tracks, squishy, fanciful synths tones, warped guitars, and midtempo dance beats underscore breathy cravings for and remembrances of an absent partner. The bilingual Zardoya again sticks mainly to English here, with the exception of the smoky "Lejos de Ti" ("Away from You") and more Latin-flavored "Ay No Puedo" ("Oh I Can't"), although lyrics don't matter nearly as much as performance on an album that exudes come-hithers through beguiling, sighing phrasing more than with words (although those do read like valentines). Submarine effectively mesmerized American audiences, marking the duo's debut in the Billboard 200 Top 20. ~ Marcy Donelson
