The Mae Shi is an American art punk and experimental pop band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2002.[1] They are known for making frantic and joyous music that explores dark themes using a wide variety of sounds, instruments, and music genres.[2] Their music has been described as "spazz rock,"[3] "avant-pop,"[4] "surprise music,"[5] "hyper-prog,"[6] and "punk with a bubblegum soul."[7] They are closely associated with The Smell, an all-ages, volunteer-run venue in Los Angeles.[8] Their third album, HLLLYH, was released to critical acclaim, with Pitchfork naming it the eighteenth best album of 2008.[9]
