Mae

Mae, also known as Multi-sensory Aesthetic Experience, is an American alternative/Indie band. This name was created by a course that the band's drummer had taken at college. 

The band consists of:

Dave Elkins (Vocals, Guitar)
Zach Gehring (Guitar)
Jacob Marshall (Drums, Piano)
Mark Padgett (Bass)
Rob Sweitzer (Keyboards) 

The band has released 3 albums which include:

Destination: Beautiful
The Everglow
Singularity

Some of their songs include: 

Waiting: * This is my favorite song that this band made. What caught my attention at first was the musicality of the song. It sounds very 80's in a way, with the techno piano. But on the other hand it has the rocky edge to it, which comes together as a very good song. 

Reflections: *This is another great song. What I like about this particular song is the drums in the background. It kind of reminds me of a traditional drum line. The drums during the beginning of the song up until the chorus is doing a series of different drum roles. 

Home: *This song is very similar to the song "Waiting". I say they are similar because the both have this techno(ish) feeling to it. But then it goes into rock, just around the peek of the chorus. What I also enjoy about this song is the beat and the singing. The voices are making different harmonies which really makes this song great.
