Australian alt-pop sensation

Australian alt-pop sensation MAY-A recently shared her eagerly awaited new EP, ANALYSIS PARALYSIS. The 7-track project further sees her exploring and experimenting with new sounds and experiences, highlighted on standout single “Guilty Conscience” as well as “Something Familiar,” “LOLA,” “Your Funeral,” “Sweat You Out My System,” and “ifyoulikeitlikethat.”

ANALYSIS PARALYSIS follows an incredibly successful 2022 for MAY-A, which included her ARIA Award-nominated collaboration with Australian electronic superstar Flume, “Say Nothing (Feat. MAY-A),” which reached #12 on Billboard’s “Hot Dance/Electronic Songs” chart amidst a storm of high-profile media attention from Billboard, Complex and more. MAY-A joined Flume for performances of “Say Nothing” during show-stopping sets at last year’s Coachella and Governors Ball as well as on his sold-out US and Australian headline tours. MAY-A also unveiled her own unique rendition, “Say Nothing (MAY-A’s Version),” hailed by NME as “a total tone shift from the duo’s original, stripping out the song’s driving beat and Flume’s electronic elements. Instead, MAY-A opts for hauntingly hazy vocals, acoustic guitar and spacious, lo-fi production, letting the vulnerability of the song’s lyrics shine through.”

Nominated for Rolling Stone Australia’s “Best New Artist” award and hailed by Billboard as “a master class in indie pop,” MAY-A made her extraordinary debut with 2021’s acclaimed Don’t Kiss Ur Friends. The EP – which received a prestigious ARIA Award nomination for “Breakthrough Artist - Release” in MAY-A’s home country of Australia – includes such inventive and self-assured tracks as “Swing Of Things,” “Time I Love To Waste,” “Green,” and “Central Station.“

Known as a dynamic and inventive live performer, MAY-A will be joining Nessa Barrett’s upcoming Church Club For The Lonely Tour which begins early October and continues through mid-November. MAY-A’s hugely successful Never Going Back Tour of Australia/New Zealand concludes earlier this year with a pair of sold-out headline shows in at Brisbane, QLD’s The Triffid. MAY-A – who supported 5 Seconds of Summer on their recent Australian headline tour and joined Wallows on the UK/EU leg of their landmark Tell Me That It’s Over World Tour, earning praise by DORK as “an artist bringing all their anticipated hype to life” – will next join Post Malone, Latto, and an array of other stars on Australia’s Spilt Milk festival tour, visiting Gold Coast, Ballarat, and Perth in late November/early December.
