Mind Maze by Mascot Moth–EP Review
Mascot Moth’s “Mind Maze” EP takes listeners on a whimsical journey through a sonic landscape filled with experimental delights. Hailing from Mid-Wales, this collection of four far-out tracks invites the audience into a mind-bending experience from the get-go with its titular opener, “Mind Maze.” Instantly, the listener is enveloped in a laid-back atmosphere reminiscent of an underground night club, with trippy vocals and smooth flute melodies courtesy of Harrison, setting the tone for what’s to come.
The EP’s second offering, “Jyst Like Britni,” takes a playful jab at the disco genre with its disco-esque sound and jazzy undertones. Silly yet charming, this track induces chuckles and grooves alike, with quirky noises that evoke nostalgia for classic video games like Wario Ware, adding to its lighthearted appeal.
Things take a turn towards the strange and eerie with “I Want to Be 1, 2, 3,” featuring uncanny noises and hypnotic drones that plunge the listener into a psychedelic trance. Jack Hunter and Eric Heath shine here, with Heath’s mastery of the Martenot creating otherworldly sounds and Hunter’s production steering the track’s direction, ensuring it’s a captivating journey from start to finish.
The EP culminates in “Dark Secrets,” a mesmerizing finale that traverses from a dark, ambient beginning to a soothing melody that wraps the listener in warmth. The track’s evolution mirrors the EP’s overarching theme of embracing the quirky and whimsical, ensuring a satisfying conclusion that leaves a lasting impression.
Overall, “Mind Maze” is a cartoonish depiction of psychedelia that offers listeners an escape from the stresses of daily life. With its charming eccentricities and childlike perspective, Mascot Moth invites audiences to recharge their batteries and rediscover the joy of innocence. This EP is a must-listen for anyone seeking a playful yet immersive musical experience.
