Maplewood

Yeti Boombox

If fans of the members previously well-received bands Nada Surf, Champale, and Koester were a bit thrown off by the breezy turn, it didnt take long for the harmony-heavy Maplewood sound to catch on. Maplewood returns with Yeti Boombox, their second full-length release. Recorded mostly in the discontented winter of 2008, the 12-song set picks up where Maplewood left off. Again, it features amazing guest performances, this time from Gerry Beckley (America) and Alan Weatherhead (Sparklehorse). The atmosphere may be a little snowier, and the mood a little spacier, but the Maplewoodian hallmarks are all there: lush harmonies, shimmering guitars, evocative storytelling, and gorgeous soundscapes.
