Maps Goes Mute

(PR) Mute Records announces brand new signing Maps, aka James Chapman. Debut album "We Can Create" set for release on Mute North America June 19th, 2007.

An ambitious, widescreen and epic record, "We Can Create" runs the full length of the transmission spectrum, from euphoric space-rock to folksy, downtempo whisperings and clattering, thudding noise-pop.

A bedroom genius in the truest sense, the other-worldly atmospherics of Maps are even more amazing for the fact Chapman recorded the whole album without computers, preferring the painstaking process of splicing sounds together on his battered 16 track recorder in his Northamptonshire bedroom. The results were subsequently co-produced by Valgeir Sigurdsson (Bonnie �Prince� Billy, Bjork) and mixed by Ken Thomas (Sigur Ros, Hope Of The States).
