Maps & Atlases
Perch Patchwork
Barsuk
ADDS 6/29/10

Maps & Atlases' unique style melds the technicality of progressive music and the idiosyncrasies of art rock into a fascinating and oddly accessible sound all their own. Known for their virtuosic musical ability, they write pop songs with a magnificent aptitude for texture and a distinctive blend of both the intricate and organic. Produced by Jason Cupp (The Elected, Nurses).

"Maps & Atlases make technical virtuosity fun with asymmetrical, galloping rhythms and vocals bright enough to sunburn The Beach Boys. Perch Patchwork could be this year's most esoteric album fit for a summer road trip." – Filter
