Ah, Mae, you crazy Virginians. You are a band after my own heart. Not only are you known for your relentless touring (26 shows this month alone), but your new album, Singularity is both an energetic and soothing mix of pop, rock, and punk. A refreshing chance from the norm and as far as i can tell from these pictures, completely makeup-free! It's a shame the world has to wait until the 14th to hear the record. But you know what the world doesn't have to wait for?



Woohoo! The theme for this hot contest is the album title, Singularity. What the heck does it mean? The Maemen themselves describe it as "the ultimate unknowable in science... the interface between the natural and the supernatural." In my 5 minutes of intense research on the subject, I've found about 15 other acceptable and equally confusing definitions. But who cares? This is all about you and your ideas and interpretations! Will you win?

Mae-be!

(hilarious)

I already subbed my first design to this a few hours ago. My design will be a "singularity on the submission page"

singularity, as in, "The Technological Singularity is the hypothesized creation, usually via AI or brain-computer interfaces, of smarter-than-human entities who rapidly accelerate technological progress beyond the capability of human beings" is an awesome theme. Should be fun

WOW!! i didn't realize there were so many Mae fans on this site! I've seen them twice live, and their last album "The Everglow" is one of my favorite albums of the 2000's. They are also my favorite pop band of this decade as well. YEAY!!!!!

I was just gonna download the mix i just made for my Mae obsessed friend too on Threadless, weird.
