With their first song Khushfehmi , Mauj created a stir with in the Pakistani music scene. It was Punk rock initiation in Pakistan, with incredibly weird but rather funny lyrics.  The band disapperaed after this initial hit and after an exile of almost 3 years they came up with their second song ‘Paheliyan’, which has put them right back in the music circle. And after all these years, they finally released their first album ‘Now In Technicolor’ .

Rasonics (Houston) sums up the album;

The character of this album distinguishes Mauj from conventional rock or pop bands of the region for many reasons. First, they appeared from no where. I may not call them “new kids on the block”, but they were certainly rookies when their first video appeared a couple of years ago. Being new on the scene, they did not take the easy way out by going all out on tacky lyrics and music overworked by keyboards or synthesizers. Instead they were determined to stick with the basics and real instruments that is an evidence of creativity, maturity and hard work.
