Mazes announce tour, discuss new LP
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 12 June 2012
Alt-Americana types Mazes have announced they’re to wind their way about series of tour dates, each of which will serve as live preparation for the tbc release of the band’s second LP.
Having converted his London flat into an improvised studio space to make the album, which follows last year’s excellent ‘A Thousand Heys’, frontman Jack Cooper says: “We were all fairly content with the first record but there were things about the recording process and the record itself that disappointed us. Personally, I’ve been disappointed with every single thing we’ve done… it’s normal. We spoke about recording something that represented our record collections… something denser maybe? Not a garage rock record”.
He adds: “It’s been the most rewarding recording experience because it feels completely organic and liberating. I think we’ve made something really cool”.
And so to those live dates. The band visit Sheffield’s Tramlines festival on 21 Jul, after which they’ll begin the tour in earnest, playing several shows (some are still to be confirmed, see the Mazes Facebook page for updates) throughout late July.
Tour dates:
22 Jul: Leeds, Brudenell Bar
23 Jul: Manchester, The Salutation
24 Jul: London, Seabright Arms
25 Jul: TBA
26 Jul: TBA
27 Jul: TBA
