The Project: This EP is an exclusive collection of songs complete with a "rub and smell" cover from our favorite acronymed band (Multisensory Aesthetic Experience). It's the featured story of the week (or so). I'm very excited for this collection. I've been picking up each of the digital songs you can find at the above website.

Each month this year, Mae is releasing a brand new song. You can either stream the song for free or donate to their cause this year (change the world through various humanitarian efforts) and get the download.

The Songs: These songs are great. The new one up on the site currently is "Night/Day." One thing I really appreciate is their length. Most songs are at least four minutes and a few are over six. I wasn't a fan of "Boomerang" very much, but "The House Fire Built," "A Melody, A Memory," and "Night/Day" are all tremendous.

If you're looking for great mid rock with a pop twist, this is your band. Great previous efforts are The Everglow and Singularity. (The Everglow is actually my favorite cd of all time).

score: 9/10
