Holy shit, this is one of the craziest cds I have ever heard, and I am completely positive that was the greatest compliment I could have ever given L.A.’s Mae-Shi. All 33 tracks on this 42 minute cd are completely and utterly insane. They range from schizophrenic screaming to pretty decent distorted beats. Every member “produced” different tracks at different places at different times, then soldered them together, tacked on some art work, and $120 later, the Mae-Shi are signed to a solid label and are embarking on a nation-wide tour… how about that diy. For an idea of the sound, take the Blood Brothers aesthetic from their last cd (Burn, Piano Island, Burn), except dice it up into 30+ tracks and add beats and even more random noise. So if you see the Mae-Shi on their tour in one of the random-ass towns they are playing in (including Norman, OK and Twin Falls, Idaho) shake their hands, and give them a personally made mix tape; you’ll be surprised with the response.
