For a song titled “Fever,” there’s absolutely nothing feverish about it. However, the oxymoronic mellow vibe isn’t the calculated “math rock” for which Maps & Atlases has become known. As the lyrics claim, it’s more like a fever passing…and getting all the toxins out of your body. Yay for sweaty sheets and regaining your appetite. It’s your Jam of the Day.
The new album, Beware and Be Grateful, comes out on April 17th on Barsuk. We just named it one of the albums we’re most looking forward to in Quarter 2 of 2012.
Catch the band live at The Firebird in Saint Louis on May 12th.
