(a)fternoon

mae

Shimmering piano-led indie rock that captures the hazy, golden transition of a late summer day. Lush, cinematic, and deeply nostalgic.

It's like the feeling of a perfect late-summer sunset put into a piano-rock record.

A warm, wistful sense of transition that balances nostalgic longing with a peaceful acceptance of the present moment.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The expansive seven-minute build of Communication where the guitars and strings finally lock into a soaring unison
The transition from the bright opening of Good (a)fternoon into the more rhythmic, driving pulse of Over & Over
The delicate, almost pastoral piano outro of (a)fternoon in Eden that brings the conceptual cycle to a soft close
