Maps & Atlases

Maps & Atlases come barreling at us from Chi-Town, where the winds are wild and the girls are even wilder... but what do I know? Actually, I only know one girl who resides in the windy city... but none of that matters because I wanted to tell you about this band and how the music that they create is willing to be re-created in your own head. Now, doesn't that sound appealing? This music is not a first listen kind of buzz, the hooks aren't necessarily catchy, and it's certainly not accessible pop, but the music holds up well up against the timely lyrics and guitar picking.

PS: The lead sounds like he singing out of his nose
but it's one of those rare forms where it actually does the music justice.
