[mp3] Life Size Maps // Weird Luck

Written on March 1, 2012 by Andy in Music

This post has been a long time coming; Mike from Life Size Maps got in touch about their band’s EP back at the beginning of February, and it’s languished in my mind and inbox since. Initially Mike got in touch with us, comparing Life Size Maps to blog favorite Night Manager. (As an aside, I wonder how many bands I’ve bestowed that ‘blog favorite’ tag to. I’ll have to go back and check.)

After listening (a lot, since it’s been nearly a month), I’m finding that comparison to be pretty apt; Life Size Maps doesn’t have that same shambolic, everything-is-going-to-end-in-flames sound to them, but they have the same noisy, reckless abandon about them. And they sound similarly fantastic doing it.

I’m going with “Weird Luck” off of their recently released EP; it’s the most straightforward of the three songs on the release, and it’s catchy as all hell. It starts out sounding like it’s being birthed by some robotic alien into our world, but then the band gets right into it, and then it’s over as intensely as it started. Clocking in at under three minutes, it’s mandatory to listen to more than once.

You can head to any of the band’s pages below to grab the other two tracks from the band’s EP fo’ free as well, and if you’re around Brooklyn, you can catch them at a few different shows throughout this next month.
