Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Going Places

Since forming in 2004, Chicago’s Maps & Atlases have been throwing darts at exotic locales across indie rock’s ever-expanding globe. Their 2010 debut, Perch Patchwork, was a breathless blast of beat-driven, hyper-melodic postrock. The band’s sophomore follow-up, Beware & Be Grateful, continues that fearless exploration, refining a wily, kinetic sound with uncanny ingenuity. This Monday, September 10, the band charts a course for Signal Kitchen in Burlington.
