MAZES BLAZES by Mazes
"The album flows seamlessly and feels fully formed, like a lost Nineties treasure from the Merge or Matador vaults - this could rest amicably alongside your Magnetic Fields, Yo La Tengo, and GBV records" - Permanent Records
"a wonderful mindfuck" - Chicago Tunes
"Mazes Blazes manages to sound unfettered and free from any stylistic obligations, but it doesn’t sound at all sloppy—the group’s targets may be off-center, but it precisely reaches them." - The Pulse
Mazes are a band specially built for pop music. Featuring ex-members of local mainstay’s the 1900′s and Office, their alchemically-rich musical brew hath emerged as some sort of folk-hipster-Voltron. You know? Like when five separate but cool musicians join together and form an even cooler & taller thing, except instead of wielding a space sword, it just walks around, whistling in dusted jeans. - Mvremix
