Hello Mary
Hello Mary have spent the last several years refining their intricate alt-rock sound and musicianship. The culmination of this work - done in the studio, at practice and on the road - is reflected on the New York City-based band's new album Emita Ox Since forming in 2019, the trio of Helena Straight (guitar/vocals), Stella Wave (drums/vocals), and Mikaela Oppenheimer (bass) have risen to prominence with their fuzzed-out tracks that invoke alt-rock, shoegaze, and post-punk with a dark whimsy. Having toured with American Football and Silversun Pickups, they've built a reputation for their ripping live performances in a time where virtuosic young rock bands are few and far between. Now, they follow up their acclaimed 2023 self-titled LP, which Rolling Stone called one of the year's "sharpest, noisiest debuts," with their most audacious project yet: Emita Ox, arriving September 13 via Frenchkiss Records.
