Our Take

Ah, MAPS, the electronic project from Northamptonshire that continues to bewilder and enchant listeners with their latest offering, Turning The Mind. This album is a sonic journey that takes the listener through a kaleidoscope of ethereal synths, pulsating basslines, and hypnotic vocals. It's like floating through a dream while simultaneously getting lost in a futuristic rave.

The opening track, "Welcome Shopping," sets the tone for the album with its shimmering production and infectious hooks. It's a bold statement that grabs the listener's attention and doesn't let go. As the album progresses, tracks like "Lost My Way" and "Let Go of the Fear" showcase MAPS' ability to blend introspective lyrics with infectious beats, creating a sense of euphoria that is impossible to resist.

One of the standout moments on Turning The Mind is the epic closer, "Realign," a sprawling nine-minute opus that builds to a breathtaking crescendo. It's a masterclass in tension and release, leaving the listener both exhausted and invigorated by the end.

Overall, Turning The Mind is a triumph for MAPS, showcasing their unique blend of electronic and indie influences in a way that feels fresh and exciting. This is an album that demands to be listened to from start to finish, taking the listener on a journey that is as introspective as it is exhilarating. Don't sleep on MAPS – they are on the brink of something truly special.
