Maria BC + Cuckoo Spit

Pop Mutations & Divided By Language presents: Maria BC plus special guests Thursday 5th November at The Old Hairdresser's 18+ show

Ohio-born, Oakland, CA-based artist Maria BC (they/them) has slowly opened up their process over the years, moving from the one-room recording process of 2021 EP Devil's Rain-careful not to disturb their roommates or neighbors-to the untreated apartment wanderings of Hyaline (2022, Father/Daughter) to the home of a family friend featuring an out-of-tune baby Steinway piano where they recorded their Sacred Bones debut, Spike Field.

In 2026 we will see the return of Maria BC with their third studio album, and sophomore Sacred Bones release, Marathon. Born from a sense of urgency, masochistic determination and endurance, Marathon reflects what it means to keep going whether you're resisting or just surviving, you're in it for the long haul. On this record, Maria BC delves into themes of resistance, environmental ruin, personal disruptions and destruction, all entwined in musical grit and drive.
