about

Maria is a trio from Holland and the Czech Republic, who have been producing their own unique post-religious cabaret since 2016. Lyckle, Katerina and Bjorn have amassed seven albums of outsider pop and improvised mayhem over the years. This collection of tracks were mostly made on a farm over a two year period and you can tell the fresh air had a conducive effect on their collective songwriting. A classic sound of drum machines, synth bass, and keyboards holds up Katerina and Lyckle’s vocal interplay alongside Bjorn’s guitars. When the three find their sweet spot, they can conjure up fine slices of whimsical, bleary-eyed pop music that isn’t afraid to smile once in a while and dream big.

words from the band:

'Hello? Maria is a post-religious band from Holland and the Chech Republic. We played a few concerts but we were most comfortable writing and rehearsing. Except for A 2 ,5 and 10, all songs from this album were made on a farm in Alphen aan de Rijn where we had band-meetings between 2017 and 2019.'
