The Maureens Share Fell in Love

Leave a comment

I can’t understand why more folks don’t tune into the Maureens; they’ve got the same pop sensibility as modern-era Teenage Fanclub, albeit with just a little bit more sentiment. There’s something in their songwriting that feels like it was raised on their parent’s record collection, then ramped up with a modern bit of charm and swollen melodies. You press play here and you’ll immediately be hit with a wall of emotion, with a closing moment that feels like a climax in and of itself. This is the song you deserve today, and you can also build some anticipation for Everyone Smiles, out on January 19th via Meritorio Records.

The Maureens Share Rainy Day

Don’t let the first 50 or so seconds of The Maureens new single fool you, for as pretty as it may be, the Dutch outfit are brandishing their rock wares on the latest single. When the tune kicks in near the minute mark, it does so with a full on punch, the sort one would expect from only the best Teenage Fanclub tracks, brandishing huge riff-driven guitar pop with melodic centerpieces. That being said, the group do pull towards the more melodic, especially when there’s a explorative breakdown in the middle; they filter in a bit of twanging guitar that rides on some “oohs,” which is an absolute charming moment. In January, the band will release Everyone Smiles via Meritorio, so you’ve been put on notice!

The Maureens Announce Everyone Smiles

Leave a comment

Among the many reliable indie labels of the lands, Meritorio always fashions themselves as purveyors of great pop music, or as I see it. Today, they’re sharing a fresh track from Dutch outfit the Maureens, bringing back a sound that certainly harkens to the early days of Beatlemania. Light strums open the tune before a sharper lead cuts into to divvy up the guitar mixture; the vocals are layered atop one another, adding in these harmonies brimming with joyous spirit. Guitars continue to lightly jangle while the rhythm section kicks in an understated groove, leaving you to fill yourself up on the smorgasbord of pop goodness that comes in the chorus. The band will release Everyone Smiles early next year!
