Assembly Now with Graphs, Maps & Trees on Kids. Quirky thoughtful pop with a chuggin' bass and pained vocals doing the indie pop 3 minute thing with MTV2 on their minds. B-sides another reverbed out guitary thing with big solo and anthemic cresendo. The lads are saying a post rock Prefab Sprout annd Manic Street Preachers....

What their label says...
TRACKLISTING: A) Graphs Maps & Trees, B) Calculate,
OVERVIEW:
'Graphs Maps & Trees' is Assembly Now's 3rd single, and marks a
return to the KIDS stable (The Wombats, The Whip, Paul Hartnoll, Band
of Horses). 'It's Magnetic' was a sellout debut on KIDS, before
'Leigh-on-sea' repeated the feat with Label Fandango. The title track
is Assembly Now's strongest cut to date and is an instant summer
classic with its tales of stargazing whilst walking along London's
South Bank. B-side Calculate shows the other side of Assembly Now's
sound, comparable to the epic soundscapes generated by the likes of
Radiohead and Muse. The band have become a live force to be reckoned
with and have played up and down the UK in 2007, supporting a host of
bands including The Wombats and Dirty Pretty Things as well as
embarking on their own in-progress headline tour. Assembly Now will
expect to add to their growing collection of press and radio which
include past glowing reviews from the likes of NME, Artrocker,
Disorder, The Fly and Drowned in Sound and huge support from Steve
Lamacq, Colin Murray and Zane Lowe. They have also made their first
foray into the TV world, with a superb video directed by James Appleton
(Fear Of Flying, Eight Legs) featuring an array of animals in a
Rousseau-esque landscape……
