Back when I worked a 9-to-5 job and first found myself with nigh-unlimited time to peruse the Internet for new music, I briefly dabbled in the Chicago post-rock/math-rock scene that was home to the likes of Tortoise, Joan of Arc and the Sea and Cake. This dabbling lasted for about a day. I imagine it would've lasted longer if Maps and Atlases had been around then. They actually sound much more like an amped-up version of Minus the Bear than any of those Chicago bands but they fit the scene well and seem to already be generating a bit of a following, based on how the crowd at this show responded to them.. + Informações

Knee at the bottom of the wheel as a guide this thing was made to be grabbed and thrown over the side feet on the dashboard on the way home clipping your nails like a metronome Raised glass to cheeles and unfamiliar hands Pretending every place is a house and we are all blinking as long as the point of tears is yours the last laugh this is an imprecise surgeor now Taking part without putting back together at all far from the middle we listen to the sounds they make the sounds they make the sounds they make the sounds Crutches and canvas searching for windows and bread and pretending every place is a house All creds go to Maps and Atlases.. + Informações

("The Sounds They Make" & "Songs For Ghosts to Haunt To") During the Maps and Atlases set, a distinct crowd of attention-seekers showed up and unfortunately spent a lot of time trying to turn the floor into a mosh pit. They seemed pretty loaded are were desperate to get people looking at them, to the point of frequently reaching up to the band for high fives, but the really weird thing is they appeared to know the words for at least half the songs. Maps and Atlases have one seven-song record out, and they haven't been around that long. Are these guys from Chicago? Math-rock fiends? Extremely intuitive? Dunno.. + Informações
