Maps & Atlases - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@Fafnerluver922]

Haven't heard from these guys ina looooong time. So good to see them up here again.

[@danman6669]

People who dislike this must hate rock that actually is unique. There are too many "by-the-numbers" rock bands out there who take no chances with their music and play the "same old, same old" chords and hooks to remain relevant, while we all fall asleep to the lack of innovation from those bands who do nothing to move the rock genre forwards. Give me more bands like this. Bands like this actually keep rock relevant.

[@21innocentbystander]

@Tomb Rocket Their second record felt to me like the second coming of the Beatles actually, no joke.

[@koreypaul6698]

@@21innocentbystander I love your channel btw! Good to see you here. Their second was great.

[@sotobello.]

So, we're back at where we first met! Maps & Atlases has been one of my favorite bands ever, and I thank KEXP for showing me their sounds 5 years ago. This is amazing, so happy to hear new tunes from the new album. Please keep it up and also COME TO BRAZIL!

[@adrianoa.j.5788]

Mano esses caras são insanos!! pqp q banda boaaaa!!

[@ihateallofyou100]

I can't help but smile when I listen to this band. Thanks for all the times you pulled me out of funk.

[@AmmoGlitter]

Man I love Maps and Atlases. Lightlessness Is Nothing New is easily one of my favourite albums of 2018!

[@dabitmosh698]

años siguiendo a esta banda y aun siguen de pie saludos from México

[@toomanytanks_breezeman8774]

One of my favorite bands for years. Ive seen many prog/math rock shows, but the tour they did wih Minus the Bear (@CrocRock where i saw them in PA) was incredible. So glad they're still doing their thing; look forward to catching them here in Denver👌

[@jamesc1469]

I saw these guys three times and every time it was a free show, the first being in the basement of a record store in madison, and theyre super humble awesome dudes! I straight up almost died in a Beware and Be Grateful shirt i wear it all the time still, much love from wisco

[@mtrps_]

i misssssss yall

[@ShaiGuyz]

At the beginning I thought I wouldn't get into it but this is really rad! Keep it up KEXP!

[@bentstruments]

totally agree but it didnt take long to start enjoying the fresh recirculating sounds.

[@spencermccreery2508]

I feel like this is a band that you have to see live. If I would have heard them through Spotify I probably would have turned it off before I made it through two songs, but having seen them live I was beyond impressed. So technically proficient.

[@spudghettios]

This literally just happened to me, looked them up on spotify as they are opening for coheed next month and wasn't into it at all. But this is good.

[@benkeller6027]

Nice. A new find and I enjoyed immensely.

[@david0watts]

Same here

[@skippyskate]

yo, i love these guys. saw them in hollywood at the troubador in like 2013 and i think 2012, as well

[@CameronPrice2]

So great to see these guys with new music!

[@deniseduardo9478]

Existe milhões e milhões de bandas no mundo, incontáveis estilo e sons, cada um com sua característica, e óbvio que nunca vou conhecer todas as bandas no mundo, impossível, mas posso afirmar de todas as bandas que conheço e são muitas , Maps and Atlases atingiu um patamar número 1 de bandas que gosto , sério sério um previlegio poder ir a um show deles, espero que venham ao Brasil um dia, e certamente irei onde for .

[@sotobello.]

Vamos juntos!

[@evenjusti]

Bora curtir música de qualidade! Faz uns 5 anos que encontrei esses cara aqui no KZbin.

[@geraldwafflebottom3397]

Woah its been a minute since i listened to these guys, Sick vid!

[@StanleyGoldbrik]

Innovative sound delivered with gusto, guitar command, voice as instrument. Enjoyable!

[@exlution]

Look at Maps & Atlases still out here! Makes me nostalgic for college. Hope they tour.

[@patthewoodboy]

been sharing music with a mate at work .. he suggested this band .. sweet :-)

[@d-rocky]

Every time I see Dave Davison, I think about the very, very awkward hug i gave him. Still think it was worth it.

[@josephmarlin9827]

That man gives the greatest awkward hugs, can confirm

[@sscillitani]

Not the same without the other guitarist, but glad to see these guys are still out there.

[@ranchdressing86]

This band is tight!

[@AVelasquez22]

Good job!

[@Cathbar425]

Lots of hate for Maps and Atlases in these comments. Particularly from folks who commented so close to the upload time that they couldn't have listened to the whole thing. Weird.

[@xavier626262]

Music is subjective, live and let live bros. I dig them, the next guy might not. That's the beauty of it all

[@julioneto3801]

love you guys!!!

[@MrFirefox]

quite like this band

[@bffreebsd2601]

They need to cover “Black Betty”

[@ryanlaurence569]

Oh man, Dave would nail that one.

[@frankthorne11]

Maybe a project with St Vincent would be cool?

[@21innocentbystander]

Sound is just off in this compared to what they usually sound like live.. Saw them a few years back and they were beyond amazing.

[@pancake6151]

If you notice at 2:32 the bassist (Shiraz Dada) doesn't have his amp plugged in. It seemed like they were playing along with a recording, and that's probably why it felt kinda off.

[@ryndanriley5348]

@@pancake6151 is that the right timestamps? Everything in the shot right then is plugged in.

[@ryndanriley5348]

One thing I noticed is the looping got off a few times. When I saw them they still had two guitarists and it sounded a lot better.

[@the-first-liam]

@@ryndanriley5348 Yeah Dave bungled that first one 💀 I feel like he probably just didn't practice enough for this set, love the record though

[@michelzenitud5524]

Sympathique ✌🌹

[@sdrak9535]

Why i can´t find lyrics of the album Lightlessness Is Nothing New?

[@AVelasquez22]

Voice kind of sounds like the main artists in T.V.O.T.R.😍

[@AVelasquez22]

imaginamevolar ya i can see that. But his voice is different!

[@AVelasquez22]

imaginamevolar baha. Have you heard of T.V.O.T.R?

[@AVelasquez22]

imaginamevolar Cheers😁😁

[@AVelasquez22]

imaginamevolar WILL DO, OR WOLF LIKE ME...OR HAPPY IDIOT. lo

[@AVelasquez22]

imaginamevolar they are the songs darling.... Will do Happy idiot Wolf like me.

[@NoJoshinJoshy]

What happened to the Hawaiian?

[@jonporter1233]

Big Bopper Anthems

[@OneHellOfASandwich]

I never listened to these guys before. Being a mathrock/prog/etc. fan I've heard of them a few times. I happen to like so many different genre's, and hipster music is among those. This is a nice little blend of slightly mathy stuff with hipster vibes. I dig it a lot. What's with all the hate down there?

[@BunzJackson]

That sample on Fall Apart was kinda off time. Seemed like it was throwing him off.

[@SarahEvans]

Yeah man, I had to pause it to make sure two tabs weren't open playing music. Threw me, so I can't imagine what that was like to play with.

[@evgeniykorkuts]

Please use different preview pictures for one artist.

[@maybeerainmaybeesnow]

: )

[@Theshark15z]

Guy tries to sound like john frusciante but instead sounds like he inhale a whole tank of helium.

[@Bronco541]

I saw them in Philladelphia around this time; in a really tiny and sort of old school place and they sounded way better than this imo. Maybe poor mixing? In any case; great band!!

[@jackpfiester5013]

Not a confident performance. Sounds like they were still getting comfortable with the new material and falling off of the loops/samples a bit. Band is still amazing, this video just happens to preserve an "off day" of theirs for everyone to critique every day.

[@the-first-liam]

yeah Dave was pretty rusty on this one, kept bungling the riffs and getting distracted from the vocals lol

[@bitgwa]

Someone please help him iron out the crease in his strap

[@tinagutierrez5219]

The singer sounds like a mix between John Mayer and Dave Matthews.

[@waylonnicholson371]

I hear hints of Cat Stevens and John Frusciante.

[@kabuyaoboshipki7636]

They can’t just simply get another guitarist ...... smh....

[@limnificant]

Proves hipsters can make make music that you can dance to. Great energy, super tight. Their look doesn't really match their music, and it reminds me a bit of one of my favorite bands, Broken Bells.

[@pleasure.93]

hipster? did u know Math Rock ? if not u know what to do

[@Dedbigfed]

This makes me sad.

[@captaincool5387]

Love this band but the old drummer gave so much identity the music... Idk about this new drummer sorry...

[@dalekay9ine]

It's the same drummer they've had the whole time....

[@a54635]

meh. this is what happens when you try to have more and more and more artists on, the quality takes a nosedive.

[@aDarcone]

well, thank u for your very subjective close to nothin mention : P

[@a54635]

you're very welcome!

[@collidoskope]

these dudes are well-established, great musicians... especially acclaimed in the math rock community

[@danbradshaw9802]

Id rather listen to a bowl fart

[@irotinmyskin]

enjoy.

[@danman6669]

Bowls can fart? Can plates, too? What about forks, knives, or spoons?

[@danbradshaw9802]

danman6669 apparently this band know what a bowl fart sounds like. Very similar but the bowl fart should sue for plagiarism

[@TheGoliathsound]

You got conned if you paid them.

[@BangTaoBeach]

Their first song was horrible! The rest were just bad.

[@aydngencalp8548]

this guy can't play the guitar.

[@jayc9940]

Aydın Gençalp please tell me you’re joking...

[@irotinmyskin]

he has to be joking

[@danman6669]

The man is doing things on the guitar that the average guitar player could never do, yet you make a baseless claim like that. Ok...

[@jayc9940]

danman6669 yeah I’m an idiot.

[@pleasure.93]

u dont even know what real music is

[@jcdenton4911]

They had "Everyplace Is a House" and not much else. Really like them though, fantastic band.

[@pleasure.93]

!!!! ilove these guys
