Guest deathbydrums Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Went to the barsuk site to pick up a bag of coffee and was pleasantly surprised that they also sold vinyl there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbohaha Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Is this pressing limited? And how's the album sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I love all M&A albums but they've always taken several listens to really grow on me. I really love the track 'Winter' so far on this one. I don't think this will be limited since YAMATM and perch patchwork both weren't, and Barsuk tends to press a lot of vinyl. The whole album can be streamed here: http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/av/2012/04/album-stream-maps-atlasesbeware-and-be-grateful.html (although if you've never heard this band it's best to start with Trees, Swallows, Houses and have your mind truly blown) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbohaha Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I've always been a fan of M&A, I completely forgot this album was coming out, just placed an order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jameswiersema Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I absolutely love everything Maps&Atlases have put out since Trees, I would even call them one of my favorite bands but this album just doesn't really do it for me and is definitely a let down compared to my expectations for the follow up to Perch Patchwork. It's good, don't get me wrong, but it's nothing compared to previous works and if it wasn't by M&A it's probably not something I would listen to. I do like a few songs a lot but overall I don't care to listen to it over and over like with everything else by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want them to get mathy again, but they're probably going to head into this poppier stuff they've been doing. I feel like with Trees/You and me that they had the perfect balance of mathy guitars with pop vocals, which is why I enjoyed them so much when I first started listening. This record feels very "safe", and there's not a whole lot that interests me enough to listen to more than a few times. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jameswiersema Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Also their UK label Fatcat has a hand numbered /250 7" for Fever with the demo for Important for £5, I picked it up with the 7" for Living Decorations for under $20 shipped to the States. Mine was 176/250. http://fatcat.sandbaghq.com/index.php/maps-atlases-fever.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
