Josh Conway of The Marias - Pensado’s Place #533

Our guest is one of The Marias, who are up for Best Engineered Album at the 2022 GRAMMY Awards. On their highly-anticipated debut album Cinema, The Marías provide listeners an escape into a dynamic world that is alluring and mysterious while equally charming and inviting. In dreaming up their first full-length, frontwoman María Zardoya and multi-instrumentalist producer Josh Conway mined inspiration from such hyper-imaginative filmmakers as Pedro Almodóvar, achieving an untamed emotionality that acutely amplifies the most intimate of feelings. When met with the exquisite nuance of their sound—the lavish textures, shapeshifting percussion, lyrics sung in both English and Spanish—the result is a body of work that bends reality and heightens the senses to glorious effect. Welcome to The Place, Josh Conway! ___________________________________________________________________ Rest in Peace to musical icon and dear friend of the show, Lisa Roy 🕊️ ________________________________________________________________
