Answer
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Answer
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ 2003 album Fever to Tell features the song “Maps.” It was the New York band’s debut studio album, released by Interscope on April 29, 2003, after the group had built a reputation through its energetic garage-rock and art-punk performances.
“Maps” is the album’s ninth track and was written by vocalist Karen O, guitarist Nick Zinner, and drummer Brian Chase. The song is markedly more vulnerable than much of the band’s earlier material, pairing restrained vocals with atmospheric guitar and a slowly intensifying rhythm section.
The title is often explained as an acronym for “My Angus Please Stay,” referring to Karen O’s relationship with Angus Andrew of the Liars. The song became the album’s third single: it was released in the United Kingdom in 2003 and in the United States in February 2004. Its emotional music video helped make it the group’s breakthrough hit.
A frequent mix-up is placing “Maps” on the band’s later album Show Your Bones. It belongs to Fever to Tell, alongside “Date with the Night,” “Y Control,” and “Pin.”
