Maz – Too Bad

22-year-old Utah-based songwriter Marley Guevara aka Maz shares the second single off her debut EP NPC, due out April 4th via Winspear (Wishy, Slow Pulp, Barrie).

“Too Bad” rides an off-beat electropop groove, Guevara delivering a hushed Debbie Harry-esque lead that flexes the full range of her voice.

“While writing this song, I was inspired by Blondie and Grimes,” she shares, “Vocally, I wanted to give off an ethereal vibe mixed with early, surfy Blondie. The meaning is just about faith and also shedding ego-driven desires.”

NPC finds the indie pop artist from the small town of Logan playfully picking apart growing up, relationships, and self-empowerment across six charming tracks. Pulling inspiration from Blondie to Santigold to Daft Punk, the collection delivers on the simmering buzz she’s amassed across a brief, but potent, run of singles. Bobbing and Cole Williams, members of Still Woozy’s production crew, build crisp sonic environments for Guevara to flex and explore across. The new single comes on the heels of her successful live debut supporting Wallice on a run of West Coast dates.

Catch Maz in Austin next week for SXSW.
