“One of the most exciting instrumental groups around.” – London in Stereo
“Intricate rhythms, heady bass lines and squealing, kaleidoscopic synth lines mix into a hypnotic recipe…Maiians demand attention.” – The Line of Best Fit
Brought together by a mutual love of kaleidoscopic electronica like Four Tet and Caribou, Maiians are one of the most exciting and innovative instrumental bands to emerge in years. The five-piece includes 2 drummers, who provide perfectly interlocking grooves over addictive synth and guitar lines. The result is a Balearic dream; ebbing and flowing from playful housey euphoria to post-rock soundscapes without skipping a beat.
Their debut release, the ‘Tokyo EP’, was mixed by Bartosz Kruczynski, half of Polish production duo Ptaki. The group are are already turning heads around the UK, with The Line Of Best Fit calling them ‘an immensely exciting new outfit on the electronic scene’.
EP lead track ‘Lemon’ is backed by a stunning video, 3 months in the making, which weaves together clips from the weird and wonderful world of YouTube with the rhythmic intricacies of the track.
Maiians play The Lexington, London on December 2nd 2014
