Influenced by the bright landscapes and long distances of Australia, the Aerial Maps are a unique band that offer a widescreen view of the world, full of stories about times and places and lives. On their debut album "In The Blinding Sunlight", the Aerial Maps - featuring the evocative story-telling style of vocalist Adam Gibson - demonstrate they operate in a place somewhere way outside of fashion and trends. It's a place of forgotten coastal towns, of people missing somewhere in the bright expanse, of lives lived under the blinding sunlight of Australia.
