Mazes is an influential indie rock band known for their unique sound and captivating performances. With a discography spanning over several years, Mazes has established themselves as one of the leading acts in the genre.
Similar to other notable artists such as *Male Bonding* and *Girls Names*, Mazes brings a fresh perspective to the music scene. Their music combines elements of garage rock, post-punk, and lo-fi pop, creating a distinct and infectious sound that resonates with fans worldwide.
With influences ranging from *Ty Segall* to *The Fresh & Onlys*, Mazes has crafted a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Their energetic live shows have garnered them a dedicated fan base, while their thought-provoking lyrics explore themes of introspection, love, and self-discovery.

Completed in just two weeks between the sub-zero conditions of commuter town Cornwall, New York and the heart of Brooklyn, Wooden Aquarium marks the apex at which Mazes' music to date meets. While debut album A Thousand Heys was recorded on a boat and recent album Ores and Minerals was recorded across numerous takes in the back room of Dalston's Shacklewell Arms and Jack's bedroom, Wooden Aquarium has brought Cooper, drummer Neil Robinson and bassist Conan Roberts together in a studio again. Recorded completely live and laid down entirely onto beautifully thick two-inch tape, the trio also had company in enlisting the skills of Parquet Courts' producer Jonathan Schenke. Akin to Field Music's articulate songwriting prowess and the punky guitar rhythms of The Feelies or Television, and see-sawing between extreme confidence and self doubt the record is packed with hypnotic lo-fi pop melodies and motorik rhythms bolstered by spiky hooks and Cooper's distinctively carefree vocals.
