Hey Everyone! The new single "Goldilocks Zone" is out NOW wherever you listen to music!
Here's some press for "Goldilocks Zone":
“Goldilocks Zone” is the latest example of their ability to swerve, dodge, and duck easy categorization...
And even that is an understatement regarding what is going on here; proggy structures abound, arabesque sonic motifs drift through, soulful interludes ebb and flow, and lyrically, they are on to something fascinating. The titular “Goldilocks Zone” is an astrophysical term for that sweet spot in a solar system where everything required for life to emerge is both present and perfectly balanced.

In a post-genre musical landscape where many artists feel compelled to shout their uniqueness, Map of the Woulds choose a different path. “Goldilocks Zone” is simply important. And in finding that rare place where everything feels perfectly, naturally aligned, the band delivers a track that lingers long after it fades, like a thought you didn’t realise mattered until it stayed with you.

And some press for "The Old Songs":
"This track is both dry and lush. The production refuses artifice, but behind every note hides a wink, a twist, a mini-provocation. It's not nostalgia that's expressed, it's its ghost, the one that invites itself to the table to mock the living. The Old Songs doesn't flatter memory; it deconstructs it, scatters it, and reassembles it backwards, as if Joy Division had decided to have a good laugh in the studio with Talking Heads.
What makes this release unique is its ability to make the absurd immediately digestible, almost pop. Map of the Woulds plays with contradictions, but transforms every angle into a hook, every grating idea into a danceable groove. The Old Songs is lucidity dressed up as a celebration, a satire that doesn't condemn but invites you to dance on the ruins."
