Editor's note

MAA's experimental pop and Anya Marina's voice

A duo that carved out a distinct sound across three albums in the 2010s.

For a good sense of their range, try 'Gold Lion' for the pop side and 'Ballerina Brainsystem' for something weirder. Both have that unmistakable MAA feel.

MAA's music doesn't settle into easy genre boxes, thanks to Ariel Rechtshaid's production and Anya Marina's vocal presence. Songs like 'Demon's Phone Call' and 'Beautiful Mistakes' show how they balanced experimental textures with pop accessibility. Their 2017 single 'Beautiful Mistakes' sparked some debate about its lyrics, which the band said were about vulnerability.

MAA formed in 2014 and released their debut album 'Faces' the next year. They followed with 'Beautiful Mistakes' in 2017 and 'Phases' in 2020, then went quiet. Those three records show a group that found its sound early and kept refining it.

Archive material and source history

MAA formed in 2014 as a duo with Anya Marina on vocals and Ariel Rechtshaid handling production. Their debut album 'Faces' came out the following year, followed by 'Beautiful Mistakes' in 2017 and 'Phases' in 2020. The band's songs include 'Ballerina Brainsystem,' 'Monkeybone City,' and 'Demon's Phone Call.'

Their 2017 single 'Beautiful Mistakes' drew some criticism for its lyrical content, though the band maintained it was about human vulnerability. Rechtshaid's production work gives their music an experimental quality that doesn't fit neatly into genre categories.

Marina's voice carries most of their material, from the folk-leaning moments to the more pop-oriented tracks like 'Gold Lion' and 'King & Queen & Kiz.' They haven't released much since 2020's 'Phases,' but those three albums show a group that found its sound quickly and stuck with it.
