Not for Radio | Melt | Album

Melt is the debut solo album from Not for Radio, the moniker of María Zardoya (lead singer of The Marías). Released on October 10, 2025, the project is widely praised for its "hazy," "atmospheric," and "introspective" sound that builds on her work with The Marías while exploring more personal and raw emotional territory. Reviewers generally describe Melt as a "winter album" characterized by "gothic romanticism" and "dreamy atmospheric" production. The album features a mix of dream pop, psychedelia, and 90s trip-hop influences (reminiscent of Portishead and Massive Attack). It was recorded in upstate New York during winter, a setting that heavily influenced its "watery" and "nature-inspired" sonics.
