"Yet some of the material, while immensely sophisticated and comple, is surprisingly accessible. Maps of Non-Existent Places is a terrific album of modern progressive rock, sophisticated and innovative, yet also inspired by the classic tradition of the genre. Strongly recommended." - Danger Dog
If there was one phrase I would use to describe "Thank you Scientist" it would be mind-blowing. The debut CD is a very entertaining indeed, but actually it transcends words in this this review. It's something special that cannot be faked and it when transcends into music expression - can be a very special and powerful thing - Indie Shark
"Maps of Non-Existent Places sounds like a dream you had; it's unpredicted and unreal, it twists and turns like nothing you've ever experienced, though it's not jarring. It makes no sense when you think about it, but in its throes you are completely immersed and you don't want it to end. My favorite part is that it's real." - The Aquarian
"...provide the necessary ingredients for a super talented band full of innovative music that will have your jaw dropping with amazement" - Indie Music Reviewer

Bio
A seven piece monster, collectively playing roughly 20 instruments, TYS has a hyper-composed sound much indebted to the band members' experience and formal training in both classical and jazz idioms. TYS has been mesmerizing live audiences since their inception in 2010.
Dubbed "The top unsigned act in the Tri-State area" shortly after the release of their EP, "The Perils of Time Travel", the band hasn't slowed down a bit. During June of 2012 the band released their first full length record, "Maps of Non-Existent Places," an album funded by fans from all over the world via a highly successful Kickstarter campaign. The album is a stunning collage of influences. Progressive rock, jazz fusion, classical, metal, psychedelic, 60's Pop, and world music all seem to collide together at full speed, and the impact demands your attention!
A Frank Zappa for the indie generation? Incubus jamming with the Mahavishnu Orchestra? Mr. Bungle and Steely Dan joining forces to fight Godzilla? King Crimson and the Brecker Brothers serenading you at your bedside? It all seems so strange on paper, yet it's sure to satisfy your ears in the best of ways.
