Magnetic Bodies/Maps of Bones

Dangerbird

Nov 19, 2015 Issue #55 - November/December 2015 - EL VY By Scott Dransfield

Maritime appear as some sort of leftover relic from the first-wave indie/emo era, but they continue to make straightforward indie rock with little pretension and a focus on melody. Magnetic Bodies/Maps of Bones is a reliably pleasant collection of pop-rock that would be perfect for a cross-state drive or a weekend hangout. Not much here is memorable, but many moments, like opener "Nothing Is Forgot," stand out for their wistful evocation. (www.maritimesongs.com)
