i like the new music, it is really good. however i fell in love with Maps and Atlases with less hair, mustaches and the super technical guitar and drum playing. Its cool to see bands evolve but i wish they would still play a few more of their older style songs. Either way, long live Maps and Atlases
I'm sure what that person meant by stay underground is for this band to stay true to themselves and their music. Most bands that get their "DESERVED" attention end up losing their creative force and end up writing music for media attention and big label execs that view the art as dollar signs. Underground music is the last stance between the fine line of actual music and mainstream dribble noise.
I just saw them at lollapalooza and met them all Then later that night I ran into Dave on the street and talked to him again they are the nicest guys! I'm ok with them becoming famous as long as they don't get douchey like the cold war kids did. They were dicks
Fantasic stuff. I bought the LP the other day and I am blown away. These guys have got a great balance between technique and melody. Definitely won me over.
@dunn5 What does it matter if they reach a wide audience or not? Popularity doesn't instantly make them bad.... that is such a hipster thing to say... When music stops being innovative and stops being for the love of music... that makes music bad.... not popularity.
@dunn5 So basically you're telling them to stay starving, stay poor, and stay completely unaccredited for the fucking amazing music they put out? Ill admit, I liked their older stuff more. Their stuff from Trees Swallows Houses was fucking brilliant. But I want more than anything for these guys to actually be recognized for what they deserve. They DESERVE attention. They DESERVE to actually get something for the beautiful music they give us.

@dunn5 Define "underground." They're in Ra Ra Riot's top 8. I think as far as successful indie bands go, they've "made it."
