Information
Maria BC, originally from Ohio and now based in Oakland, California, has been developing a unique body of work at the intersection of experimental folk, ambient and indie rock for several years. Carried by a fascinating mezzo-soprano voice and arrangements as delicate as they are unsettling, their universe blends acoustic intimacy, electronic textures and hypnotic soundscapes. After the EP Devil's Rain in 2021 and the acclaimed Hyaline in 2022, Maria BC asserts a strong artistic identity with Spike Field, the first album released on Sacred Bones Records. Between spectral folk, orchestral compositions and sonic experimentations, the album reveals deeply personal writing and a bold approach to production. In 2026, Maria BC returns with Marathon, the third studio album and second release on Sacred Bones. Born of a sense of urgency, endurance and resistance, this new record explores themes of survival, exhaustion, personal upheaval and environmental destruction. Through songs of fragile yet tenacious beauty, Marathon questions our ability to continue moving forward in a world in crisis.
