The Only Place

University has to be about the only place where you get left with situations where you have to decide which country you are going to live in for the next year, in 12 hours. In a shorted version of 24, my life went in locked-down as I used a magnetic dart to pick which country to move to. I chose Mannhiem, Germany. So whats the most important thing for the process of deciding? A bloody good soundtrack.

Maps & Atlases - Perch Patchwork

From the wholesome folk tones from 'Solid Ground', to this years best guitar riff on 'Pigeon', Perch Patchwork has it all. With the most exciting album I have heard in too long Maps & Atlases manage to weave all the great things that have been happening in music this new decade, and create something that creative, exciting, but heart-warningly familiar. This Chicago 4-piece and has got legs to go far. When everything seems to be up in the air, don't fear, because there's Solid Ground.
