Music recommendation: Maps - We Can Create
May 13, 2007
I cannot remember how I found this artist, but I’m really happy I did. Their new album is brilliant and is well worth a listen. They are said to sound like Ulrich Schnauss and Band of Horses and are classed are a indie-electronic band. For a preview of their sound check their MySpace page:

AllMusic have this to say about him:
Originally going under the name Short Break Operator, Maps is essentially Northampton U.K. sound sculptor James Chapman, who combines indie electronic with atmospheric, sleepy rock that owes as much to Spiritualized and My Bloody Valentine as it does to Four Tet and Boards of Canada. Chapman has released a few EPs, including Start Something via Last Space Recordings in 2006, and is assisted by a full band when playing live. Released by Mute in mid-2007, Maps’ debut full-length album, We Can Create, was co-produced by Valgeir Sigurosson (Björk) and mixed by Ken Thomas (Sigur Rós). Mute released the album in the U.S. in summer 2007.
If it all sounds good to you, give their album a go:
