Where Calvin Harris is the joker in the pack amongst the current crop of musicians whose bedroom doubles as a recording studio, Maps, aka Northampton-based James Chapman, is an altogether darker, mysterious card altogether. This Ace of Spades recalls a sweeter Baby Bird, an anglicised Sparklehorse, and a less playful Boards of Canada – all rolled into one. Taken from the Mercury-Music-nominated album, We Can Create, this single is one to explore at your leisure. Lose yourself in Maps, indeed.
(4½/5)
