Today's Quick Mention:Lost is
on tonight. Only a handful of episodes left.
Are you guys still with it? Or have you given
up and moved on with your life? I'm hanging on
tight, but I have to admit that I'm a little weary
about it wrapping up as nice and neat as I would
like it to.
As can be the case sometimes, Maps And Atlases are a
band that I've heard about repeatedly, but never
really taken the time to fully check out.
Honestly, that's not very cool of me, so it's time
to change that before Barsuk releases the band's
debut. Perch Patchwork will hit store
shelves on June 29, and I have the stellar first
single below. Enjoy.

And Atlases - Solid Ground:
This is a fairly short track (it's just a tad under three
minutes), but even after double digit listens it still
amazes me as to how it sounds and feels like this huge,
sonically complex composition that also features a
slow build to a climax. It's crazy. You'll want
headphones for this. Also, if all of the album is this
wonderfully layered then we'll be in for one hell of a
listen.
