The Chicago-based quartet will kick off the tour in their hometown on June 26th and bring it to a close mid-August in Newport, KY.

After putting out two EPs on indie label Sargent House, Maps & Atlases will release their debut full-length record, Perch Patchwork, June 29, 2010 on Barsuk Records.

Filter says, "[Perch Patchwork] showcases the band's songwriting chops with the intricate technical aspects of prog-art rock while keeping an accessible pop undertone."

1. Solid Ground
2. Living Decorations (Demo)
