Music News - The Map Room release new single 'Other Animal'
27 January 2017 - 0 Comments
Other Animal is the first single from The Map Room's forthcoming sophomore album Weatherless, due for release in early April.
A
song about the 'unconnectedness' that can often occur living in our
ultra-connected digital world, Other
Animal pushes the band's sound into new territory with its
head nodding rhythm and pulsing synths.
Of the track Simon
Gooding says, "This song came out of a writing session
where Brendon
(Morrow) and I were consciously trying to make some more
upbeat, synth-based songs. It's become a live favourite of ours and we
feel like we really captured that energy in this recording, which is not always
an easy thing for us to do.”
The
single was
recorded in part at The
Lab Studios with drummer Andy Keegan and bassist Jared Kahi and
overdubbed between Auckland and Gooding's home in Wellington.
Other
Animal is now available for
purchase from iTunes. Listen now on Spotify.
Praise for The Map Room's self-titled debut album:
4.5/5 "Sunset pop moods from highly
qualified locals"
Graham Reid, NZ
Herald
8.5/10 "The album
strides confidently between the sounds of local heroes like SJD and Don
McGlashan, while big droplets of South America drip through so that fans of
Fito Paez will not be disappointed."
