{"product_id":"maps-atlases-beware-and-be-grateful-cd","title":"Beware and Be Grateful (CD)","description":"On their second full-length album, Chicago's Maps \u0026amp; Atlases defy easy categorization, choosing to walk their own incomparable musical path. Beware and Be Grateful sees the band's trademark experimentalism morphing to suit a more direct--though no less beguiling--songcraft. Fueled by a panoply of sonic influences, the album abounds with novel invention, spanning hymnal harmonies, percolating rhythms, even, in the case of centerpiece track, \"Silver Self,\" a full-on guitar solo (though to be fair, it's unlike any solo previously committed to wax). Songs like \"Remote And  Dark Years\" and \"Fever\" are gloriously liquid and lyrical, channeling Maps \u0026amp; Atlases' tightly constructed creativity into a genuinely distinctive brand of boundary-busting, asymmetrical pop. Self-assured and astonishingly ambitious, Beware and Be Grateful is a worthy follow-up to the band's acclaimed Barsuk debut Perch Patchwork.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 4\/17\/12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD Wallet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Maps \u0026 Atlases","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42570243080273,"sku":"AW1GTN-UGRI-PO","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/maps-atlases-beware-and-be-grateful_XaJq3.jpg?v=1752071108","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/maps-atlases-beware-and-be-grateful-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
