재작년인가 한번 포스팅 했던 곡인데 오늘처럼 어투컴컴하고 비오는, 왠지 몽환적인 오전에 어울리는듯 해서 ^^;

London, United Kingdom (2003 – present)
Engineers are not like any other band. Onstage Simon Phipps is the singer, Dan Macbean is the guitarist, Mark Peters is the bassist and Sweeney is the drummer, but the real clue is in their name: they approach their music like engineers, carefully constructing wonderful walls of sound.

Following the rapturous reception that greeted their mini-album Folly in 2004 and debut Engineers the following year, it’s taken them a long time to build the epic that is Three Fact Fader. After initial recording sessions with producer Ken Thomas, Engineers became unwitting victims of record company restructuring and the album was left in limbo, unfinished until the band reconvened earlier this year, largely motivated by public support. “We seem to appeal to people in a really deep way – people tell us our music has helped them through intense times in their lives,” explains Mark Peters. “This is why it was so important to get the album released, it means so much more than the peripheral aspects of releasing records.”

It’s not just lyrically that Engineers have a deep emotional resonance; the music itself has an overwhelming sense of purity and beauty that you can completely immerse yourself in. It was this tendency towards epic soundscapes that saw Engineers lumped in with the nascent shoegaze revival when they first appeared; now that the scene that celebrates itself has gone overground with the reformation of My Bloody Valentine and high-profile compilations from Rob Da Bank and revivalist label Sonic Cathedral, it seems as if Engineers have timed their return perfectly.

Maps라는 이름을 가진 밴드는 3개나 있습니다.
그 중 하나인 지금 소개해드리는 Maps는 영국,노샘프턴 출신의 James Chapman이 꾸려가는 밴드, Maps입니다.

2007년 4월 발매된 정규 데뷔엘범인 ‘We Can Create’는 2007년 Mercury Music Prize에서 올 해의 앨범으로 노미네이트 되기도 했는데요, 앨범의 7번째 트랙인  To The Sky(그 이전에 ep로도 발매 되었습니다만)는 딱 제가 좋아하는 스타일의 곡입니다.

뭐 암튼 들어보시죠~ 이 곡은 오피셜 뮤비도 있지만 아무래도 동영상은 사운드가 저급해서 걍 Mp3로 올려용
