Apse - The Crowned

For some good reasons the more members single band has, the more I trust in quality of it's music. Possibly I'm in a strong belief that discussing new sound ideas with bigger company leads to better conclusions. Or maybe it's a simple fact that more people can create more complex/innovative songs. Whatever it is, stumbling upon band consisting 6 members and 5 former contributors just forces me to check it out.

The band 'Apse' is pretty unique anyway. Although they're hailing from Newtown, Connecticut, they are signed to European labels - British and Spanish. Unlike many modern collectives, they have been for a while, since this year is their 10th anniversary. To top it all up, Apse's creations went rather unnoticed for a very, very long time, and their first LP 'Spirit' was released seven years after first rehearsal somewhere, in CT's garage.

The results are impressive: 'according to it's title, 'Spirit' gives an essence of lo-fi, esoteric rock, while 'The Crowned' is at last a track that fulfills dreams about organic, tribal rock. While Robert Toher sings his pacifist message, you may just get drowned by ingenuity of drums, or get high by some neat guitar shots. A word of warning: it hypnotizes!
