Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Mapping The Sky releases their new song “Last Bastion” from their upcoming debut album Here And Not Here, set to be released on May 3 via Creative Entertainment Network/ The Orchard.
Hailing from “The Heartland” and defined by a diehard work ethic, a whole lot of humility, and no-nonsense honesty all around, Mapping The Sky founder Jordin Swanson was born and bred in Norman, Oklahoma. The singer, songwriter, and guitarist brings hypnotic hard rock laced with quotable lyrics and sharp storytelling. “Norman is a cool college town in the middle of Oklahoma,” he says. “Every once in a while, a great band pops out of the state. I’m doing my own thing. I move through different styles of rock. It’s alternative, but it’s aggressive. There’s also a little bit of folk because of where I’m from—of course.”
“Last Bastion” showcases Swanson’s Alternative influences with its distortion and emotive vocals. “There are so many different guitar parts,” he reveals. “I’m showing my grunge influences.”
Mapping The Sky aims to deliver identifiable and infectious rock from the heart of the country, providing comfort and connection through their music for those going through similar experiences. “When I’m in a dark place, I always retreat into music and listen to my favorite songs,” he leaves off. “I want to write songs that connect. I hope that anyone listening can feel some sort of comfort and know somebody is going through the same things you are.”
