Hold Me Up To The Sun is the second
single from The Map Room's forthcoming album Weatherless, due for release on April 7th.
A song about perception, perspective, and how we
never really know how other people see the world around us, Hold Me Up To The Sun pushes
the band's sound in a new direction with its electro-pop drums, layered vocals
and swirling analogue synths.
Local director Alex
Gandar has created a surreal loop-based video to accompany
the track. The video has its premiere on Pantograph Punch today:

While their self-titled debut album addressed themes of displacement and motion inspired by the duo’s travels through South America, Weatherless explores the struggle and endeavour for clarity and being ‘truly present’, as time relentlessly marches on and we are constantly reminded of our past and future.
Weatherless is full
of infectious melodies, experimental production and head-nodding rhythms, pushing
the bands sound in new directions while staying true to the foundations laid in
their debut.
Hold Me Up To
The Sun is now available for purchase online from iTunes and
for listening on Spotify.
Pre orders of Weatherless are now purchasable from iTunes.
