Album information

Since the album has been released, it has been seen as a critical success even though sales have been fairly modest. His first North American release, To the Sky EP, was digitally released on May 22 on the same label.

Maps has toured playing the album's songs with a full live line-up. Maps played the Latitude Festival in Southwold on July 13, as well as the Leeds and Reading Festivals on August 24 and 26. They played on five dates in the United States later in the same year.

James was supported by four local musicians for live shows. Phil Thurlby and Matthew Roberts were on keyboards and vocals, Andrew Lowther was on bass and Ben Gordelier was on drums. "My band sounded a bit like The Stone Roses meets Spaceman 3, they sounded like Devo," he said for The Independent.

On July 17, it was announced that We Can Create had been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. However, it lost out to Klaxons' debut album Myths of the Near Future.

The album artwork for 'We Can Create' and all the singles leading up to its release were created by CitizenBB (Ben Brown) at Citizen. Ben was also the drummer in the live band at the time before being replaced by Ben Gordelier.
