Episode 212: Hello Mary
Episode 212 of Look At My Records! features an interview with Stella, Helena, and Mikaela of New York City up and comers Hello Mary. We last spoke with the trio for a piece on the site back in December of 2020, and since then, they’ve been through some changes. They’ve graduated from the DIY recording setting to a proper studio, enlisting the services of veteran indie rock producer Bryce Goggin for their recent string of releases, which includes the captivating double single, “Stinge” b/w “Sink In.” They also embarked on their first West Coast tour, played some pretty big gigs, and added a bit of polish to their signature sound. During the interview, the band dished on all of this and more, including the circumstances that inspired one of their recent singles, “Evicted,” how Julia Cumming of Sunflower Bean has acted as a mentor to the band, and of course, what’s next for the trio. They also picked some awesome records, including some great cuts from Echo & The Bunnymen, Big Thief, and more. You can follow along with their picks via the official playlist for Episode 212. Hello Mary is playing a bunch of gigs in the Northeast this month. They’ll be supporting Sunflower Bean on May 12th at Webster Hall. On May 29th, they’ll be playing at White Eagle Hall in Jersey City with Les Savvy Fav. For a full list of tour dates, follow the band on Instagram.
