Mapping The Sky is an Oklahoma-based rock ‘n’ roll collective with collaborators in regular rotation, and founder and songwriter Jordin Swanson at the helm. When asked about “Home,” Swanson shares, “Sometimes, I feel nostalgic for my childhood. I can’t go back though, and the town isn’t the same as when I grew up. It was a moment in time—better understood and appreciated years later. Liquid permeates through the song and death: bones, shores of grief, and tears. There’s a deep sense of loss. This is highlighted by these lyrics: ‘In a thousand places where hope has died, I’ve lived and failed in all I’ve tried.'”
Also on the album, you will find “Get Up Kid,” which hinges on a head-nodding electric guitar riff and a hypnotic drumbeat. On its heels, “Just Like Me” fuses punchy guitars to a relentless rhythm. The album’s tracks cover a range of themes, from relationship struggles in “Here And Not Here” to introspective moments. Swanson’s grunge influences are evident in tracks like “Last Bastion,” showcasing diverse guitar parts and a raw, intense sound.
“Home” and “Fallen Angels” delve into deeper emotional territories, with anthemic hooks and moments of stark existential introspection.
