Maps & Atlases have let loose a cryptic trailer for their upcoming release Beware And Be Grateful . Not entirely sure what it means...if we're looking at a concept album or what, but I do hope there will be more of these shorts.

Beware and Be Grateful will come out on April 17th 2012.

The original track, which can be found on Maps & Atlases full length cd Perch Patchwork , is a minimalist track that focuses on the voice of Davison, and tribal style drums. This remix still focuses on Davison's vocals, only Absofacto [...]

Only last week we were ranting on about a northern band, called Citi Petts , that in parts reminded us of The Gossip , with oversized guitar riffs and lots of punched-with-a-run-up beats. Today we are fishing in the same pond, as we've recently had contact from another northern band who's new single can have it's genetics traced back to that same American band, giving us a case of blog ditto inside of just a few days, (Ed - perhaps that should be Beth Ditto ). If you like your guitar music to drive like Ryan [...]

Daily Galaxy on the significance of this : Modha and Raghavendra Singh (IBM Research-India) also found that the brain network does not appear to be "scale-free" like the web's social networks, which are logical and can grow without constraints, but seems to be "exponential," like air traffic networks, which are physical and must satisfy resource constraints. "This finding will help us design the routing architecture for a network of cognitive computing chips," they suggest. "The network [...]

There's tension in every stem as the words haze through: "I [...]
