Music Weekly: Week 17: Mazes
I'd never heard of Mazes, and bought on the strength of a review from a newspaper posted on the pinboard of the record shop. It described them as being quite like Pavement. And so they are. I like Pavement, and listening to Mazes, I wonder if there is room in my life for two bands that sounds like Pavement. Pavement definitely appeal to the geeky gawky nerdy middle-class white boy that I was when I started listening to them, and I've kept them with me ever since. Now, I am at least no longer a boy, and I felt, when listening to them at first, that I might be a bit too grown-up to get into a new band that would have appealed more to the 15 year old me. However, on continued listening, their just frankly too-damned catchy songs won me over. Good stuff. They really do sound like Pavement, though.
