Maps is the project of Northampton U.K. sound sculptor James Chapman, who combines indie electronic sounds with atmospheric, sleepy rock that owes as much to Spiritualized and My Bloody Valentine as it does to Four Tet and Boards of Canada. Recording for the Mute Records roster, his 2007 debut earned a Mercury Prize nomination and paved the way for a series of ever-evolving albums like 2013's Vicissitude and the ambitious, highly collaborative 2019 album Colours. Reflect. Time. Loss. Moving into the next decade, Maps explored uptempo dance sounds on 2023's Counter Melodies.
