Comprising of six highly adept musicians from
Accrington, Lancashire, Maupa have recently gained
notable interest among music aficionados by winning
the British part of the initial Wanadoo discoveries
contest - a music event organised over four European
countries, the UK, France, Spain and the Netherlands.
As an appetiser for the release of The Minor Highs And
The Major Lows, Maupa released the excellent single,
Helpless at the end of last year. For those who bought
the single, or at least heard it, you will not be let
down with this album, it has a nerve pinching
ambience, haunting, moody sounds and sweet, melodic
vocals.
It all begins with Wish, an hypnotic tune which
captivates you with sweet-scented vocals,a steady beat
and a generally good feeling. Helpless is a stunning,
mellifluousness track while Bag Song is a tuneful,
harmonious number with delicate vocals and a cool,
well paced drumbeat.
Walking Home is a relaxing song with a nice breeze of
soft harmonies and a calm set of notes, and Another
Week floats along with a further sense of delightful
light-hearted melodiousness. Autumn Breeze is as
refreshing as it sounds, without a drop of tension,
while A Hard Day Will Mend is a delicious track with
yet more helpings of tuneful vocals and a silvery
blend of instruments.
Sour Fruit has some intricately laid vocals and a
jazzy mood, the percussion parts are finely crafted
and the guitar strumming is free-flowing. Nobody Told
Me is further evidence of this terrific group of
musicians, there is not a wrong move, it all seems
completely uninhibited, the tempo kicks up a few
notches toward the end but the notes stay within
reach.
The Minor Highs And The Major Lows is a superlative,
honourable and totally consistent album with utter,
unwavering feelings of ease. It has no great riffs or
any stand out track, the whole album is like a
fantasy: it pours into one long dream of heavenly
sounds that will raise the little hairs on your arms
and leave you with a yearning for more music from this
inventive and intriguing set of musicians.
