Map and Gary Murrary went on tour together. As a huge Map and LN fan I booked the tour and both artists played in my basement. Shortly after this tour the acts released a split 7" on Clerestory AV. The 7" features one song from each artist. Each song is a Starflyer 59 cover.
Side A is Map's cover of When I Learn To Sing. The original is a fun, upbeat pop ditty. Map takes a more quirky approach. It's indie rock at it's best.
Murray tackles the slow, guitar driven Next Time Around. Murray's voice and style is the perfect fit for Next Time Around. Murray slows the song down and simplifies the arrangement so, like most songs from LN/Murray, we get this hauntingly beautiful song. (We'll talk about his cover of Girls Just Want To Have Fun later).
Clerestory AV is now defunct, and they only printed 400 copies of this 7". I found a copy on ebay, but that's it. It's not available as a digital download either... So good luck finding this one.
