Description
The clattering electric folk-rock of Chicago’s Maps & Atlases is forceful and confident, the work of a band with a clear sense of its career trajectory. Frontman Dave Davison has a rich, mellifluous baritone that anchors rough-hewn songs in which the guitar lines serve less as melodic tools than rhythmic punctuation. On its full-length debut Perch Patchwork, the band clutters up some songs with excessively wonky prog-rock dross, but that reads more as an ambitious young band pushing its limits than a fatal flaw. Even when it leads them astray, the audaciousness of Maps and Atlases’ artistic ambition is exhilarating. - Paul M. Davis sanjose.comMore Info
