Maps @ King Tut's

Maps are intent on destruction.

Article by Laura Paterson | 07 Dec 2007
Tonight, appearances and band names are deceptive. Zoey Van Goey aren't the pretentious underachievers their name may suggest. The Glasgow-based, internationally sourced, three-piece are ridiculously talented: they swap instruments, play violin and have Kim Moore's stunning vocals. Like the Postal Service with a sense of humour, they cover romance, imminent apocalypse and baked beans, all in the course of one song. Cramming onstage five men, three keyboards, two guitars, two tambourines and a random extra drum, they are by turns delicate and ferocious. The three vocalists sing about "sex, ecstasy and love" with the closed-eye devotion of choirboys, their lyrics hidden under shimmering layers of sound. Don't be deceived by the beauty; they are intent on destruction, ending their set with all hands on deck grabbing drumsticks and battering anything within range. [Laura Paterson]
