Maps @ King Tut's
Maps are intent on destruction.
Published 07 December 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]
