| EXCAVATING THE WORLD OF LIFE SIZE MAPS |
| Saturday, 08 September 2012 00:00 | |||

You may remember us featuring a Brooklyn outfit called Life Size Maps earlier this year with their track 'Weird Luck' appearing in our Top 30 for a number of weeks. Well now the band are set to release their second EP this week, the powerful Excavate. Like its predecessor, it comes across immediately as a sonic blast of pop/rock akin to someone flinging a door open while its blowing a gale outside. This five track effort is heavy on synths, guitar and drums with none of them outstaying their welcome coming in as they all do at under three minutes. Download opening track, 'Abstract Speed' below and you can get the whole EP free at the soundcloud link below that.
