On 'Acre Thrills', US Maple prove to be the true purveyors of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band . They have an unrivalled intensity in guitar playing and pitched up, excited vocals to match my daring comparison. 'Troops And Trouble' suggests that 'Acre Thrills' has a Civil War touch to it. While trying to figure out whether you're in line with US Maple's legacy, the band sharply follow their own resonance with splashes of fiercesome twang, like on 'Ma Digital', the opening track, that introduces the full grown proportions of these epic zigzag wanderers. Copying the cohesion of say, The Gang Of Four, US Maple's tight art-rock is also kinda funky. With vocals that are quite touching, 'Acre Thrills' sum up the endeavours of America's hardest trying foursome. US Maple do not yet make up the national flag, but somehow one knows US Maple will be out there with the anthemic sounds that go along with it.
