Review: Mae's "Singularity"

Mae, Singularity (* * * )

Brains and brawn

Having sold a quarter-million copies of their two indie-label releases, Virginia rock quintet Mae connects with Capitol Records to make a play for the big time. They may be too smart for their own good, but they make up for it with a fetching sense of melody and rhythmic shifts that recall Anberlin and Jimmy Eat World.

>>Sample: Sometimes I Can’t Make It Alone, Sic Semper Tyrannis

>>Skip: Release Me
