REVIEW

The second EP from Bulgarian shoegaze band Maze Hunters.

Formed in Sofia in 2018, the band underwent a lineup change following their previous release and now operates as a trio consisting of guitar/vocals, bass, and drums.

While their debut album was largely built around fast-paced tracks propelled by walls of distorted guitars, this EP suggests a move toward a more introspective and romantic sound. The vocals appear milder yet deeper in tone, while aurora-like synths and shooting star–bright guitars melt smoothly into one another, gently guiding the listener into a space of deep nostalgia.

Less focused on sheer velocity and more invested in atmosphere and emotional resonance, the EP feels like a natural evolution rather than a radical departure. Listeners drawn to early DIIV or House of Harm will likely find this release particularly appealing.
