Overview

• Early reviews from Rolling Stone and Variety praise lush production, natural-world themes, and adventurous influences spanning ’90s trip-hop, Broadcast, Radiohead, ambient composers, and Serge Gainsbourg-like basslines.
• The album was written and recorded in upstate New York in winter with Luca Buccellati and Sam Evian, conceived away from Los Angeles to cultivate a different atmosphere.
• Instead of traditional singles, Zardoya introduced the project on Spotify with spoken-word voice notes that shared song snippets and inspirations.
• Critics single out Puddles, Swan, Moment, Back to You, and the Spanish-language Vueltas as standout tracks.
• Not for Radio runs alongside the Marías, which remain active after a strong 2025 with a hit single, a Coachella appearance, and collaborations with Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco.
