So Many Dynamos, Cast Spells (members of Maps and Atlases) and Guests

So Many Dynamos
This is a band to enjoy with giant, cushy headphones and a mission in mind. The Loud Wars, released on Vagrant Records, is the third release from a dedicated band whose relentless touring has been a major figure not only their success, but their seemingly effortless tight sound. This time around, in the midst of a fierce cross-country tour, their songs have bragging rights, with production credited to Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie and mixed by Alex Newport of The Mars Volta. At once dancy and aggressive, the drums swirl and crash, holding up lyrical prose of taking charge of your destiny. It is a sound reminiscent of the late 90's electro-dance screamo phase without coming off as trite. Instead, its intricacies are what makes So Many Dynamos worth listening to and most definitely needs to be seen live.

Cast Spells
Providing a link from Cast Spells' MySpace page to a website instructing the novice on spell casting, one wonders what pranks Dave Davidson of Maps & Atlases is capable of. So far, keeping these feather-light songs from floating out the window is one spell from which its listener can be in awe of. Davidson's band, Maps & Atlases is on tour with So Many Dynamos until he branches off on a solo jaunt. While Maps & Atlases holds the intrigue of traditional dance numbers your grandparents can get down to, paired with Davidson's captivating voice and an army of instrumentation equally as danceable as the first layer, Cast Spells is a stripped down folky version of the band you know and love. Just watch out if he asks the crowd to form a circle around him.
