Maple Stave is a math rock band from Durham, North Carolina. They try to employ subtlety where brute strength might be the norm, and bring loudness to bear where one would not expect it. They favor a shift in tone over a catchy chorus. They enjoy the occasional change in meter rather than a guitar solo. Three instruments played by three friends to achieve a remarkable fullness of sound. Using music to communicate feeling lost, feeling triumphant, creating space, and closing it again.
