Maps

by Message To Bears

supported by

Caleb Bratcher Mixing those ethereal, soaring notes with rhythmic tapping beats was a great choice and really takes ambient music in a direction I don't often get to hear Favorite track: I Know You Love to Fall.

ByzantineFlowers Can't wait to receive my Maps LP! ♡

Nord Bass Step in the ambient electronic direction.
Walk through a city at night with quiet streets breath. Fresh air and a good mood. You're happy to be a part of it and you know why, don't you? Little naughty boy, who sticks his nose into other people's business. You're read the message. Favorite track: You Are a Memory.

about

'Maps is the third LP from multi-instrumentalist Jerome Alexander.

Following on from the success of Folding Leaves, Jerome has created something that encapsulates the folksy ambience of previous releases whilst adding an electronic dimension. Building layer upon layer, songs evolve with a fragile intensity. Vocal melodies are draped over string and guitar arrangements and end up soaring over them, at the same time lending a hook instantly recognisable as Message To Bears and blending harmoniously with the arrangement.

The overall result of Maps is something that is both startling and familiar. You are drawn in, given a map if you will, and invited on a musical journey that nods to Message to Bears' past but also leads to the future.'
