About Me

from MagnaPhone Magazine - December 2005: Milton Mapes is one of the most fascinating bands making music today. Combining the intensity of Joy Division, the new gritty Americana of Woven Hand and Drive-By Truckers and the painterly lyrical quality of Neil Young and Tim Buckley. Their latest release The Blacklight Trap out now on Undertow Music is a revelation. A harrowing, yet beautiful trip through the long dark night of the soul.
