Maria BC’s Marathon Tour of the US Comes to a Close; Talks Trump in Unreleased Interview
Deliberately or not, Maria BC broadened their horizons and engaged with the world in a way the artist hadn’t done before with Marathon, an album that teems with more sincerity and human emotion than the past two releases. Those records were certainly noteworthy, but Marathon felt like a truer work of art in that it recognized, if not empathized — an action that is actually very difficult to accomplish, even though marketing companies recklessly overuse and thus distort its meaning — with Americans and the hardships they are currently experiencing.
Maria BC spent most of February touring the U.S. and Canada, and getting a photo album’s worth of first-hand glimpses of the state of the country in the lead-up to Marathon’s release at the end of that month. The artists did the same throughout August, with the last date happening Tuesday in Pittsburgh. European dates will follow.
