Maps - So Low, So High
The opening track off We Can Create, it just grabs me from the start and demands that I keep listening. I love it.
I was lucky enough to meet James Chapman after a group of us happened to see the band (it’s just one guy recording, but he has a band for live shows) play in a small club in Manchester in late 2006, just when they were starting to make waves. It was small enough that we got to chat with them for a bit afterwards and apparently we were the first people to ever ask them to sign stuff after we ripped a couple of flyers off the wall. Ten months later and they nearly won the Mercury Music Prize.
They were great live and really sound guys as well. One of them (the bassist, I think) still owes me a drink.
