A.C. Marias

A.C. Marias was the name under which Wire collaborator Angela Conway released an album and several singles during the 1980s.

[1][2] Conway went on to work with members of Wire as Duet Emmo, releasing the Or So It Seems album in 1983 on Mute Records.

[3] On the single "Time Was" (1988) and the album One Of Our Girls (Has Gone Missing) (1989) she was also assisted by other Mute Records musicians, including Barry Adamson and Rowland S.

[1][4] One of Our Girls was described by Allmusic writer Wilson Neate as "an intriguing collection of minimalist pop songs", while Trouser Press writer Ira Robbins described the album's first side as "a sheer pastel curtain of arty guitar figures, light synth strains, and dry, wispy vocals that never quite achieves song-ness".

[5][7][8] She and Gilbert composed additional music for the Anna Campion film Loaded (also known as Bloody Weekend), under the name A.C. Marias.
