Sound it Out # 49: Maps – "A.M.A" (free MP3)
James Chapman makes music under the name Maps in his basement in Northampton, England. And while he appears to be something of a loner as a musician, the songs on the new Maps record Vicissitude have a welcoming sweetness that feels like a fortuitous amalgamation of many talented minds.
"A.M.A." is the first single from the new record, and it's a keeper. Chapman's whispery vocals combine with a sparse and relentless beat that is simultaneously cheerful and foreboding.
