Mae

Mae is a five-piece band on Tooth & Nail Records, but it's also an acronym for "multisensory aesthetic experience," a concept the band's drummer, Jacob Marshall, attaches to their album, The Everglow.

Marshall explains, "What would music look like if you could see it? What would it feel like and how would it taste? When building this record, Mae wanted to present the concept in as unified a form as possible."

Aside from waxing poetic, The Everglow has proved itself an indie hit, selling 130,000 copies in its first year and catapulting Mae into the spotlight. The band also toured with highly successful artists like Yellowcard, Weezer and Foo Fighters.

In 2006, the band gets ready to rerelease The Everglow with three new songs and bonus DVD footage. They'll also be releasing a video for a new single called "Someone Else's Arms." Then they'll head back into the studio to record their next album, slated to hit stores in early 2007. —JM
