After 3 years the new Apparat album is finished. It’s called “Walls” and out in may on Shitkatapult.
The Berlin laptopper apparently honed the material for the record over two years, in between live dates with Ellen Allien and solo shows. “This record isn’t really a focused and conceptual production,” Apparat told RA. “It’s more of a ‘last two years of Apparat compilation.’ That’s why there’s so much different stuff on it, a lot of different influences. When I worked with Ellen we had a certain amount of time and a plan of what we wanted to do. When I made ‘Walls’ I just collected some of the best ideas out of a folder with around seventy unfinished tracks and finished them.”
The fourteen-track album promises cellos and vibraphones on ‘Not a Number’, pop on ‘Bassis’ and even bluesy rock on ‘Hailin’ from the Edge’. The album includes a number of vocal cuts, including four tracks sung by Raz Ohara (who featured on Apparat’s ‘Sizilium’ EP) and three tracks sung, for the first time, by Apparat himself. What does he sing like? The press release states that he “whips up a golden falsetto that could give Thom Yorke a run for his money.”
