Spun: Mae
Mae’s third album, Singularity, is the sort of “inspirational” music perfect for consumption by the sad and confused teenager set. Considering Mae’s style, it’s no surprise. Overwrought and over-the-top, Mae returns to the successful formula of absurdly-sentimental, histrionic power-pop that made their two previous albums so popular with whiny teens looking for romance. Newly signed… Continue reading Spun: Mae
