Chicago-based indie rock group Maps & Atlases announced earlier this year plans to record a full-length album. The band actually spent the better part of 2009 recording new material for the album in addition to touring. Though this will be the band's debut album the band has been together since 2004 releasing their Tree Swallows Houses and the You and Me and the Mountain EPs through Sargent House.

Now the band recently announced that they have signed to the Seattle indie record label, Barsuk Records. The album is expected to be released sometime this summer.

  1. Looking at this post as a kind of statement of fact, "The band actually..." probably isn't a good way to word that. Leaving out 'actually' makes it less ambiguous as to how to read 'actually.' Is it condescending, surprising, etc.?

    Also the wording of "Now the band recently announced..." is a bit odd. I think "The band recently announced..." would be a better way to say that, instead of having two references to time.
