Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Tom Meikle, known by his artist moniker Mappe Of, first emerged on the scene with the highly acclaimed, self-produced, 'A Northern Star, A Perfect Stone' in 2017. The album immediately captivated listeners with its sonic landscape, an ethereal avant-folk tour de force that belonged to no time or place. The high-concept full-length 'The Isle of Ailynn' followed in 2019, showcasing Tom’s skill and talent for songwriting and production. After a long hiatus forced by the pandemic, Mappe Of is poised to re-enter the music scene with fresh works that promise to continue his journey of musical exploration and boundary-pushing creativity.

Afterglades is an experimental sci-fi-folk record about reckoning with the end of the world alongside the people you love. Blue and orange hues permeate the aesthetic, along with decaying archways, antiquated technology, and overgrown greenhouses. Lost transmissions echo across desolate landscapes. Remains of the digital world distort the fabric of reality. Still, there are glimmers of light, ethereal beings floating above the earth. There is still hope left in the world at the end.
