Maria BC shares new single ‘Devil’s Rain’
Ohio born, Brooklyn-based artist Maria BC shares the title track, ‘Devil’s Rain’, from their upcoming EP – which will be released February 5 via Fear of Missing Out Records.
Recorded in Maria’s apartment through April and May this year, ‘Devil’s Rain’, named after an expression in the southern states handed down to Maria by their grandmother, interweaves softly plucked guitar with Maria’s soaring voice. Elaborating on the song, Maria says:
“When I was little, I would spend summer months with my grandparents in northern Ohio. My grandmother would sit with me on the porch during rainstorms and read me chapter books. While we sat on the porch swing one day, the sun came out while the rain kept pouring, and she taught me the term “devil’s rain.” I think it’s a Southern expression (my grandmother grew up in Kentucky). I love the phrase, how sinister it is, and the event itself — sunshine and rain, co-occurring opposites — puts you in a spiritual mood, all wonder and melancholy.”
