If you want to listen to something absolutely jazztastic, or music that tastes positively scrumdiddlyumptious, <em>Cadastral Maps<\/em> is it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It feels as though, throughout the album, there\u2019s a bit of a journey there. It\u2019s almost as though the lead singer is trying to tell us a story through their lyrics. I think it makes you feel more connected to what they\u2019re trying to say with the music. It makes you want to listen in closer and carefully decipher what they\u2019re trying to say throughout the songs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFling Straw Man\u201d is a track that reminds me of those soft and sweet parts of my childhood. Knowing that it\u2019s over now but looking back sweetly at the memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lyrics and track of \u201cStar Song\u201d solidify the magical and almost fantasy-like themes of the album. Especially with all that talk about dragons.&nbsp;The whole album is a journey, and Tin-Ear is just trying to help guide you through it and trying to show you where to go. <em>Cadastral Maps<\/em> is that perfect blend between fantasy-like and child lofi focus type of music. It\u2019s calming but not boring, which is exactly the type of music I\u2019m looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cadastral Maps\" width=\"1140\" height=\"855\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BUTYJUwhv3Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Gabriel Fars Tin-Eared typically means someone who is insensitive to or lacks the ability to appreciate or make good judgments about music.
