I have no idea how the Brooklyn based band Maplewood would up on the German label Tapete Records. But based on my experience with the label it’s probably a good fit. Maplewood’s dreamy, dreary indie folk is apparently just what those Germans like as the band will set off for am month’s worth of German dates in September.
I like the psychedelic, lazy, and hazzy sounds of their first single from the new record. “Long White Ride” (like the name suggests) is in no hurry to get anywhere in particular. The band is content to let things progress slowly with several long, slow, guitar solos acting as the carthesis of the song.
Yeti Boombox is the new record and it will be out on August 4. Here’s “Long White Ride”:
