MARIS RELEASES NEW SUMMER SINGLE – “Salt Water Taffy”

August 2, 2024 – Indie pop rising star, MARIS, releases her new single, “Salt Water Taffy,” out everywhere today. The song, co-written by members of the band flor, reflects on MARIS’ childhood summer memories getting salt water taffy at the beach.

MARIS says, “I wanted “Salt Water Taffy” to feel like summertime as a kid. The smell of rolling in the grass, the taste of salt water taffy from this old candy store called the Sweet Palace in Philipsburg, Montana, and the feeling of sunscreen on my skin. I wrote it with Dylan Bauld and Val Hoyt and it started with a chord progression that we loved. I based the lyrics on a line from a poem I had written earlier that week that went ‘gave you all of my vacation days’ and from there it formed into my ode to summertime.”

In support of her new music, MARIS will open for Melt on their North American tour, kicking off this October in Indianapolis. See all tour dates below.
