Maps & Atlases



Math rock group from Chicago, Illinois. Different from most bands in the genre in that they focus more on actual songwriting than just being technical. Lots of crazy guitar tapping and really cool intricate drums. The singer, Dave Davison has a very unique, high pitched nasally voice that might not be for everyone. He has a solo project called Cast Spells that should be releasing an EP soon. All they have is 3 eps, and but apparently they are working on a full-length. Bird Barnyard is not really what they sound like now, the singing is different and the music isn't as cheerful. Then on Tree, Swallows, Houses, they got really technical and on the latest EP You and Me and The Mountain, they started putting more time into a really cohesive sound with all the instruments working together to make really cool rhythms and riffs.
