You know it’s been awhile since I have heard a new refreshing sound that cannot be compared to anyone else. I have been on the lookout for a new Massive Attack, Radiohead, or Zero 7. Well, I think I may have found a band with that type of potential. Maps is the project fronted by James Chapman out of the UK. He has put together a wonderful debut album, We Can Create, in his bedroom using a 16-track and without the use of computers. The product is one of the finest debut albums I have heard in a long time. The sound mixes elements of folk, atmospheric electronics, and original beats. There are songs that will put you in “chill mode” for most of the album, and then there are moments that take you to a darker side. I am very excited to bring you my catch, which is “It Will Find You”. I highly recommend going to Itunes and downloading the entire album.
