Mr. Maps

– Music, Saturday 14th November 2009

Mr. Maps was formed in early 2008, and make a unique brand of instrumental rock. They use soaring live instrumentation punctuated by electronic glitches and cuts, bridging the gap between the folktronica of Four Tet and the grand post-rock sounds of Mogwai. The compositions are experimental and meticulous, with an air of optimism and beauty. Live reviews have been littered with such words as precise, energetic and breathtaking. Sonic comparisons have been made with bands such as Battles, Tortoise, toe, Pinback, and 65daysofstatic.

Mr Maps are
Chloë Cooper (Keys)
Briony Luttrell (Cello, Keys, Samples)
Chris Perren (Guitar, Electronics)
Sangdae Yang 楊尚大 (Drums and Percussion)
Andrew White (Bass guitar, Electronics)
