Mae announce signing to Equal Vision Records, set to release new music

Norfolk, Virginia natives and indie rock sensations, Mae, are ready to embark on their next chapter as they announce their signing with Equal Vision Records. Fans will delight in the news that the duo plans to release new music early next year, marking their first release in over 5 years. Renowned vocalist, David Elkins, is currently producing the highly anticipated album this fall and winter at his studio, Schematic Studios, located in Nashville, TN.

Having graced the music scene for over two decades, Mae's remarkable journey began with the creation of their debut album's standout single, "Embers and Envelopes," which they wrote in their living room. This breakthrough album, Destination:Beautiful, propelled them to perform on the prestigious Vans Warped Tour and support renowned acts such as Foo Fighters, Weezer, and The Fray.

As part of their triumphant signing with Equal Vision Records, Mae will release a special 20-year re-press of their debut album, Destination:Beautiful, on vinyl. Fans can now pre-order limited variants of the vinyl to help celebrate this momentous milestone. Further details can be found here.
