At any given time, there's a formula for success, a manner of cynically producing music which will gain a wider audience.
MAO don't do this. A (largely) anonymous duo from Brighton, the pair eschew what's popular in favour of what works – both for them, and on the dancefloor.
Gaining support from producers such as Untold and Pangaea, the pair match bass weight against an engrossing, emotive songwriting ability.
Completing work on their debut album, MAO are ready to unveil new single 'Ways Of Seeing'. A deep, cinematic torch song, the Brighton duo's production has a dramatic, sweeping quality.
Tracey Duodu from 14th lends guest vocals, adding a soulful touch to the often intimidating music. The two work perfectly in sync, with 'Ways Of Seeing' offering an expansive, engrossing insight into the world of MAO.
Check it out now.
