Maudlin Strangers is the one-man band of Jake Hays who currently records everything out of his bedroom in Agoura Hills, California, and if it wasn't for us telling you that he was the sole-proprietor of Maudlin Strangers, you probably wouldn't have had the slightest clue. Of course, with advancements in recording technologies, these one-man bands are more common than you think. With the release of his newest track, "Overdose", Jake might want to hit up Craigslist and get himself some new band mates, though, because with the way this effort is sounding, success and the ability to tour are each going to be right around the corner. "Overdose" has the foundations of a radio-hit with its catchy hooks, expansive production, and anthemic vocal delivery, and out of all the songs from Maudlin Strangers that has been released so far, this is easily the most impressive. A&R's, take note.
