Maps & Atlases blog mention: Music for Kids who can’t Read Good
Music For Kids who can’t Read Good covers a short but sweet Maps & Atlases review in an article titled Maps & Atlases. Their review, posted after the Metro Deerhoof show, states:
Maps & Atlases are a progressive-indie band from Chicago that have been creating some local buzz due to their well-received first EP and an opening spot for Deerhoof and Busdriver on their current tour. The band has a very unique, creative style that incorporates lots of tempo changes, high energy drumming, and swirling guitars.
During some of the guitar on the album, the notes are actually being tapped out on the frets. During this the guitarist uses the tuning knobs to create feedback creates a really interesting sound. It’s a technique I’ve never heard of before but is really quite cool. This band has the skill to grow in the indie rock scene and I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw their names more and more, especially once they release their first full length.

Here’s a video that showcases that cool guitar playing I was talking about earlier. The song is called “ongoing horrible” and if you’re anything like me, you’ll watch it a couple times to see what he’s actually doing to make those sounds.
