Mayzie sounds like she’s awash in static and boiling frustration on “Boys Will Be Boys.” The menacing and dark sparkle of the guitar work is reminiscent of both Fields of the Nephilim and Babes in Toyland at once. The attitude and vocal tone is oddly reminiscent of Romeo Void’s “Never Say Never” as the vocalist describes the essence of the ways certain male musicians, even now, even after decades of the accomplishments of female artists creatively and professionally, center themselves at the expense of others in ways and with a consistency that deserves a reckoning. Mincing now words, Mayzie delivers a bit of that here. The song’s thrilling and darkly noisy post-punk flavor serves the subject matter well by conveying perfectly the disdain and invective Mayzie pours into the song with a caustic atmospheric quality that isn’t short on splintery texture. Listen to “Boys Will Be Boys” on Spotify and follow Mayzie on Instagram.
