Mazes



Occasionally, I'll decide to listen to a band based solely on the band name and/or album title.

It's been a long time since I was so lucky to find something worth listening too...

Mazes - Mazes

It's not quite lo-fi (mid-fi??), a little folky, and bleeding independent from every pore. They are from Chicago. 'They' are Caroline Donovan, Edward Anderson, Charles D’Autremont, and miscellaneous members of some of Chicago's best bands. Each song, supposedly, was written and recorded 'on the spot, with beer.'

The album is simply perfect. So, check it out. Pretty please?

Mazes (MS) | I Have Laid In The Darkness of Doubt (MP3)

Phoenix!!!




I really like these two songs and I am super excited for this album. I feel like Lasso has been getting a bit more hype than 1901 but I find 1901 to be alot more enganging. They are both pretty awesome tho. Well actually it already leaked but the quality is pretty low so Im really looking forward to having it in all its high fidelity glory.

Hooray for the French Strokes!
