MAPS AND ATLASES - PERCH PATCHWORK (LP)

Maps And Atlases Perch Patchwork On Vinyl LP

Not only is Maps And Atlases the Chicago quartet's first long player, it's also their first masterpiece, a beautiful suite of songs that should rightly place the band in indie rock's upper echelon. The band's previous two EPs employed an arid, live sound, setting up Perch Patchwork to deliver a lush contrast of strings, horns, assorted percussion, and a variety of toy instruments. In a world cluttered with digital ephemera, an album that flows from beginning to end with such deliberate grace is all the more special not to mention a perfect soundtrack for the hissing of summer lawns.
