I love the atmosphere this CD creates

"I also think this is one of the best CDs of 2007. If you are looking for a dreaming, satisfying, atmospheric trip this CD is for you. I am a big fan. They remind me a little of Low. But, I think Maps are more assessable. I enjoyed this CD from the first song and it gets better after each play. The engineer did a good job also sequencing the songs onto the CD so that the tracks flow well. I heard this was done from a 16 track in the guys bedroom. Great Indie music. This is the type of CD Maps will make only once. You don't want to miss a minute of it. Influences: Damien Rice, Sigur Ros, and Interpol.
Key Songs:
Elousie
It will Find You
So Low, So High"
Chill, atmospheric, fun

"I recently came across Maps' myspace and was instantly hooked after hearing a few of their songs. I purchased the CD with the hope that there would be a few good songs, and I was pleasantly surprised that every track on this CD is definitely worth listening too. This music is great for long drives, studying at home, or just hanging out chillin. Its the kind of music that you can't help but smile as you listen too it. The songs are uplifting and fun, and never get tired.
I was going to try and recommend some best tracks from this CD, but every song is so damn good that its almost impossible to single out only a few. If I had to pick the best, it would be "So Low, So High", "You Don't Know Her Name", "Glory Verse", "Liquid Sugar" and "Back and Forth". But really you could listen to this CD from beginning to end and be very entertained."
