I love it when a band I love seems to love our city just as much. Maps And Atlases are back, and they keep on delivering new sounds that make them worth seeing. It's possible they've found a pocket of fans -- this is fortunate to those of us who love them, but it's also fortunate that the local people keep this band in their pocket. They're so good at what they do that you'll hear about them big later on in bigger venues, but those of us who know them now can just enjoy them on the smaller level and celebrate just how great they are.
