Rare is the occasion when a song penetrates my innermost being, especially after years & years of musical explorations. Mayzie, hailing from the enchanting lands of New Zealand (Nope! Do not expect sunshine indie pop The Chills-alike), defies expectations with her fusion of bitter post punk and angsty alternative rock. Boys Will Be Boys, with its dark psyche and poignant commentary on the female experience in a male-dominated industry, captivates with raw authenticity. Reflecting on the struggle for space amidst a sea of male musicians, it’s an adrenaline-packed journey straight from the depths of 80s underground cellars that explodes like the Kiling Joke’s female version.
Destined for obscurity now, yet poised for rediscovery in years to come, Mayzie’s masterpiece is already among the best of 2024. The heart of the underground vividly beats here.
