Maps of the Saints is an indie rock album by Kid Icarus. It was first released in 1999 through Summersteps Records on cassette and CD-R, and was re-issued in 2003. The liner notes and packaging were laid out by Ted Baird, who would later join the band as a musician. The relief print by Cassie Rose Kobeski on the cover is entitled "Sunday Dinner".

Reception

Allmusic writer John D. Luerssen noted various influences on the album, from The Beatles to Robyn Hitchcock.[1] Luerssen also praised the ballads "Firecracker Girls" and "Matchsticks Dance".[1] Writer Matt Fink, also of Allmusic, compared the album's lo-fi style and "off-the-wall songcraft" to Robert Pollard.[2]

Tom Schulte of Skratch Magazine described a contrast between songs on the album, some which "bask in a harsh sun of feedback and distortion . . . while others display a sad and somewhat psychedelic mood."[3]
