WHAT WE SAY

“MAPR” are a band we have followed since the debut single ‘Surfaced’ was released in 2018, a song we still regularly play on our gig nights. The debut album ‘Makes You Happy’ was released by our friends in Wy on their label Feverish in 2021 and continued to build their signature style accompanied by a bunch of great videos. The duo are part of a new generation of Malmö bands where noisy feedback loops and distorted solos are as important as cute melodies and dancy chord progressions. Paired with a careless attitude á la Pavement but with a more explosive sound and an extremely energetic live performance they create a unique combination of slacker rock and fuzz pop which is both catchy and cocky at the same time. Live they are joined by 3 more band members who add an extra depth and loudness to their sound and we will never get tired of seeing them since they always bring their A game and make each show something really special. Their second album 'Makes You Wonder’ is a true masterpiece and finally out in the world and we can't tell you enough times how much we love this band and this record. Strongly recommended to make yourself comfortable, use your best headphones or speakers and turn the volume to 11 to fully enjoy the insane and wondrous ride that this album is.

WHAT THEY SAY

“If, up to now, one has been feeling the reminiscence of the recent Grammy-famed Wet Leg, this is the level of brilliance that sets them apart, with all due respect” - NBHAP when reaching 'It Goes' and that's not even halfway into the album :)
“Hofvander and Ingvarsson’s chemistry throughout makes this a refreshing, charming, if not gripping fifty-minute ride through their weird world.” - God Is In The TV 8/10
”This album has many twists and turns, and you’ll likely find yourself in a knot by the end.” - Silent Radio
“Från första låtens start slår Makes You Wonder hårt, jag blir snabbt helt golvad av hur bra det är" - Hymn 8/10
”Mary Anne’s Polar Rig gör sån där poppig och brusig musik som jag har svårt att veta om jag ska kalla guilty pleasure eller bara pleasure.” - Nöjesguiden
"Absolutely awesome, throwing up a fresh rocky sound that is extremely catchy" - Nordic Watchlist
"Med lekfullhet och kaxighet tar de 90-talets subrockgenrer in i 20-talet och med frontfiguren Malin Hofvander i spetsen blir det pricken över i:et” - Tinsel Music
