Maps & Atlases – New Album ‘Perch Patchwork’ Info & 2010 Tour Dates
Posted April 6th, 2010 · Artists: Maps & Atlases
One of my favorite bands, Maps & Atlases, have just announced that they will be releasing their debut full-length album Perch Patchwork on June 29th on Barsuk Records. I have had the pleasure of seeing them live several times, each time they were great, and their prior 2 EPs are excellent as well. Yet another great Chicago band, and I really can’t wait to hear the new material. Singer/Guitarist David Davison returns to work with the band after his solo album with the Cast Spells project, which was released last year (and was also great). In addition to the big album release news, they have also announced a run of pre-album release tour dates around the country, some opening, some headlining, some with the great Frightened Rabbit, but definitely check them out if you get a chance. Great stuff live. The full list of tour dates is below, as well as a track from the upcoming album called “Solid Ground”.
