MAYA LUCIA walks the line between beauty and cacophony on her latest, “numb or something.” There’s no ignoring that big “ugly” chord in the progression here (we use that term lightly), but the commitment to beauty-in-ugliness is what makes “numb” truly magical. Bringing to mind bands like Speedy Ortiz and Great Grandpa, “numb” twists and turns in unexpected ways that keep you on your toes as MAYA weaves in directions that barely even seem possible. About the song, she says:
“This is the song you scream in your room after a long day. It’s melodrama at its core — the feeling of the world ending only to realize you’re crying over nothing. The track is a journey of self-soothing, and convincing yourself you’re okay (for better or worse).”
