Mazeppa EP
Mazeppa don’t have electric guitars.
But it’s more than that which makes them stand out from the crowd.
The Bolton-based four piece meld piano, bass, acoustic guitar and drums to make intense and arresting music.
The soaring darkness of “When You’re Gone”, the pop impact of “Find Drive” and the pendulous mood swings of “Lost in the City Lights” on show here give a taster of the range they have at their disposal.
Mazeppa e.p. was the first release by the magnificent Mazeppa.
New converts will recognise Mazeppa’s trade mark sound and people who have been won over by Mazeppa’s live show will have to own the live, classic, anti-war song “When You’re Gone”.
The e.p. is on Cityscape Records, an independent label with a do-it-yourself ethic and a growing reputation for quality.
‘Very impressive . . . a broad, majestic, sweeping beauty of a sound’ – Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 1
‘They were really great and definitely different to other stuff out there’ – Steve Lamacq, BBC Radio 1
Mazeppa are being hailed as one of the most promising acts in the North West . . . the mini-epics which make up much of their set are ultimately uplifting’ – The Bolton Evening News
