Chicago based experimental math-rock band Maps & Atlases have been together for almost a decade. Since the group came together in 2004, they have released numerous EPs and two studio albums, most recently with Beware and Be Grateful in 2012. I have a special place in my heart for math-rock and an even bigger soft spot for Dave Davison’s extremely unique, lovely voice and compelling lyrics. Because I’m a lucky lady, I got the opportunity to pick his brain a bit at Riot Fest after Maps & Atlases killed their set — the first to hit the Roots Stage that Sunday afternoon.
