Listen to This: The Roots and Maps & Atlases

Philadelphia based alternative-rap group The Roots have finally released their ninth studio album How I Got Over. With appearances from artists such as Monsters of Folk, John Legend and Joanna Newsom, this record is one big melting pot of amazing sounds that just need to be heard. If experimental laid back rock is what you’re into, you better get your hands on a copy of Perch Patchwork from Chicago based alternative band Maps & Atlases. This long awaited album is one you’re going to want to listen to while sitting in the yard with a cold beer in your hand.
