Maps & Atlases




Artist: Maps and Atlases
Album: Tree, Swallows, House
Genre: Indie, Math Rock

Maps & Atlases is a math rock band from Chicago, Illinois. They sound similar to their influences Don Caballero and Hella. The guitarwork is crazy good. They're technical and yet easy to listen to. The vocals are a bit iffy, but they sound typical of the indie style. They're currently not under any label, so this album was a self-release put out on January 10 of this year. If you like technical guitars with progressive time-signature changes, this music is perfect for you. They're better than I expected them to be.

Tracklist:
1) Everyplace Is A House (3:58)
2) The Most Trustworthy Tin Cans (3:58)
3) The Ongoing Horrible (2:05)
4) Big Bopper Anthems (4:42)
5) Stories About Ourselves (3:45)
6) The Sounds They Make (1:31)
7) Songs For Ghosts To Haunt To (4:08)
