Smile Maps & Atlases, a math-rock band from Chicago
In the vein of similar math-beats finger-tapping jive mongers like Don Caballero, The Redneck Manifesto, This Town Needs Guns, Foals, Minus the Bear, and so forth. There are four members in Maps & Atlases and they have released three EPs. There is a nice balance of angular, technical instrumental work and catchy, accessible melody, which swings slightly more toward the latter the later the work.

Some examples:





I was wondering if you'd humour me with your thoughts on this fine band of musicians. IS THAT DESCRIPTIVE ENOUGH FOR YOU ROAD DOGGY DOGG
