Stoked on This Reissue of the Apartments

apartamentoMy hat goes off to Captured Tracks; they do a great job with their new acts, but they really go for my heart with their reissues.  Earlier this year they tossed out a Stockholm Monsters reissue I quickly picked up, but now they’re prepping this one for The Apartments.  The on-again off-again project of Peter Walsh.  It’s a good representation of what was going on musically in Australia in the late 70s/early 80s, as Walsh had his hand various projects. Aside from the distinctive vocal delivery, I love the guitar sound on these tracks…usually built around an acoustic guitar.  The reissue is titled the evening visits…and stays for years, and it’ll be released on March 31st.

New Music from The Apartments

It seems that Australia is intent upon taking back pop music this year, and Chapter Music again is the team behind it all.  They’ve teamed up with Peter Walsh and his group the Apartments to release a new 7″.  It’s a single titled Black Ribbons, with two distinctly different mixes.  The one we have below drifts into the realm of twee-pop, but it does so with such beauty that you can’t help but swoon when you listen to this track.  I think we’ll look back on this in time and be thankful that the band took the time to craft such melodiously enchanting tunes.
