Release Notes:
the eighth single on sonic cathedral recordings is
something very special indeed. a split seven-inch
featuring two of their favourite bands - maps and
m83 - remixing each others' work.
'to the sky' was one of the many highlights of
maps' debut album 'we can create', but m83's
anthony gonzalez reworks it as a mournful slice of
melancholia with several different segments,
reminiscent of spiritualized's classic 'feel so
sad', before funereal drums crash in towards the
end and the whole thing concludes with a gloriously
uplifting coda.
a fitting finale for the first phase of maps'
career, as they are now hard at work recording
their second album, which will be released later
this year.
'we own the sky', is taken from french
electrogazers m83's new album, 'saturdays=youth'.
maps' james chapman has turned the original track,
which was co-produced by sigur ros man ken thomas
and berlin-based dance boffin ewan pearson, into a
wonky slice of electronica that builds into
something that is at once beautiful and
disconcerting, not unlike my bloody valentine gone
disco.
