Self-described as “Midwest Disco,” the Des Moines dance duo MAIDS have delivered a sensually satisfactory new single in “Bandits.” The song, produced by Luke Pettipoole and Brandon Darner (The Envy Corps, Imagine Dragons), is smooth and seductive, with a transposed sense of simplicity not often captured with such passive grace. Listeners will find the track builds on the backbone of deep-toned electronics and takes the listener through waves of transparent melodies.

Today, Under The Gun brings you the exclusive release of the quirky and clever music video to accompany “Bandits.” The aural and visual simplistic cohesion of the song and video for “Bandits” is what makes the track appealing; these subtle elements create a truly pleasant video from start to finish. Plus — [spoiler alert] who doesn’t love watching water aerobics while listening to downtempo dance-pop? After watching this video, it’s bound to be your new favorite pastime. “Bandits” is a track sophisticated enough to put MAIDS on the map as the go-to up-and-coming act from the Midwest.
