- Bio: The four members of Maps & Atlases are Dave Davison / guitar and vocals, Erin Elders /guitar, Shiraz Dada / Bass, and Chris Hainey / drums all met in 2004, while attending art school in Chicago. The bands unique style melds the technicality of progressive music and the idiosyncrasies of Art Rock into a fascinating and oddly accessible sound all their own. Known for their virtuosic musical ability, Maps & Atlases write pop songs with a magnificent aptitude for texture and a distinctive blend of both the intricate and organic. While 2007's Tree, Swallows, Houses showcases the bands more technical side, their latest offering You And Me And The Mountain, presents more earthly and digestible songs that has earned comparisons to TV On The Radio, Deerhoof, CAN, and even Prince. Featured here on RCRD LBL is a demo of a new song called Pigeon slated for inclusion in the bands upcoming full length album that they are recording in late April for release in Late Summer/ Early Fall 2009.
