A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Maritime

Despite lineup changes, fitful touring, and several members welcoming their first children, Maritime didn’t spend its formative years struggling on record. Instead, it yielded two solid albums of sweetly mature guitar-pop that’s uplifting even when it’s sad. But its third album, 2007's Heresy And The Hotel Choir, sounds like the record the Milwaukee group’s been striving to make since the beginning—it’s the most forceful and assured Maritime album to date.
