Following the release of his critically acclaimed album
Colours. Reflect. Time. Loss., Mercury Prize-nominated composer and producer
Maps shares
“Surveil (Thematic Variation),” the second of his reworked songs from the album. Listen to the new track and experience
Colours. Reflect. Time. Loss in its entirety
here.
Reflecting on the Thematic Variation of “Surveil,” Maps says,
“The Thematic Variations are intended to show a different aspect to the songs from the album. With ‘Surveil (Thematic Variation)’ I aimed to push the orchestration to the front and explore some of the delicate intricacies of the arrangements. ‘Surveil’ definitely has a joyful aspect to the music, but there is also a slightly melancholy feel to some of the themes which I wanted to explore a bit more with this version.”Colours. Reflect. Time. Loss. is a career-defining, ambitious album that sees the bedroom producer step out of the bedroom with his most collaborative project to date. The stunning, immersive and impressionistic songs – scored and produced by Maps himself – are inspired by an orchestral approach and by the peaceful, isolated Northamptonshire countryside beyond the window of his studio.
Three years in the making,
Colours. Reflect. Time. Loss. is informed by the richness of life experience. It is an album he could only have made now, and one that represents a creative reinvention for Maps.
