Maps: In Chemistry
According to last.fm, Maps has recently beaten out The Roots to become my number two favorite band. Well, it’s not a band per se; it’s the Englishman pictured above: James Chapman. I think he has a band for touring. (There should be a name for that.)
This is one of my favorite songs (but they’re all good though, really). It’s from a split-EP he did with Blonde Redhead. I’m curious to know where the audio sample came from. It sounds like a movie—a wonderful/terrible b-movie from the late 90s/early 00s, hopefully? If you know, please post in comments.
I just love how serious they are. And how, at the end, he’s all like “Yeah, well, I don’t do safe?” Snap!
