Man, this album is something else. It's one of those records that is always over before you realize it and begs to be restarted as soon as it is. Memory Map are an indie-rock band from Bloomington, IN who share member(s?) with Good Luck and play a late 90's/early 00's indie pop/rock resurrection. Comparisons to genre titans like Q And Not U and Dismemberment Plan are easy but fail to demonstrate the range on "Holiday Band". It should give you an idea though. Songs range from bright indie-pop a la The Shins to mathy DC-influenced rock (I suppose I made this point already) to folk punk. Don't take that to mean that it's disjointed, because it is exceedingly well crafted. One of the easiest records to listen to in recent memory.
Reader note: I'm going to bring this FFO thing back even though it's annoying. As redundant as it seems, even I like to see it sometimes.
