A warm, intimate collection of acoustic reimaginings and rarities that strips back the band's cinematic emo to its melodic, piano-driven core.

Destination: B-Sides is a rare compilation that feels less like a collection of leftovers and more like a deliberate, quiet exhale. While Mae is typically known for their widescreen, cinematic approach to indie rock, this album invites the listener into the practice space and the bedroom. It captures the specific feeling of the golden hour, where the light is long and everything feels slightly more fragile. The acoustic versions of their early anthems reveal the sturdy melodic architecture that often gets hidden behind wall-of-sound production, allowing the piano and unamplified guitars to breathe.
