The Guardian...

"Typical: you wait years for a British four-piece in thrall to early-90s US alt-rock, and then two come along at once. Hot on the heels of Yuck come Mazes, a London band who manage to sound like Pavement or Guided By Voices even in their song titles: there's one here called Summer Hits Or J+J Don't Like – it might have been easier just to call the album I Love Malkmus. There's none of the narcotised throb of Yuck here: Mazes play with real vim, and aren't inclined to let their songs loiter unnecessarily. What the two bands share, though, is an ear for hooks, and there could easily be half a dozen singles from A Thousand Heys, the pick being Surf & Turf/Maths Tag – with its cheeky opening couplet: "I get off trains and wave/ Like the Beatles at JFK" – in which a descending riff resolves into a huge two-chord chorus."
