The instrumental dynamic that is created at the beginning of the current New Mayans single Universe sets the stage for a haunting set of vocals.
The unique style of indie-rock that the band creates here builds upon the work of The Killers and Muse; a strong set of vocals and fuzzy bass/guitar dynamic will tattoo the track deep into the mind and hearts of listeners. The track twinkles with ample distortion, making for a fulfilling effort that hits on all cylinders. New Mayans is futuristic while taking up a number of retro styles, making for a compelling single in Universe.
Rating: 8.0/10
