Mr. Maps are a dynamic live ensemble from Brisbane, Australia. They create a unique style of instrumental rock which draws on the traditions of post/math-rock, contemporary classical and indie-rock. Their compositions are experimental and meticulous, with an air of optimism and beauty. Live reviews have been littered with such words as "precise", "energetic" and "breathtaking". Sonic comparisons have been made with bands such as Battles, Tortoise, toe, and Sigur Ros.

The band formed in 2008, and released their debut double-EP in 2009. Entitled "Mimicry of Lines and Light”, it embodied both sides of the Mr. Maps coin: heavily processed cut-and-paste experiments and raw rock band energy. The release received airplay on Triple J and loads of local radio stations, and two tracks from the release reached the finals in the prestigious Q-song awards.

They've been kept busy throughout 2010 with interstate tours and the preparation of their forthcoming album "Wire Empire".

More high quality, moody post rock from Brisbane. Great to hear new material from you, this one's sparkly and stark. Loving it.

It doesn't seem quite right to call these guys an indie rock band. They use instruments - guitars, drums, keys - to make organic flowing songs that p...
