The Apartments return with In and Out of the Light

Watch the video for "What's Beauty To Do?" off The Apartments' new album In and Out of the Light out now. 

Here's the scoop...

Begun in Brisbane in 1978 by singer songwriter Peter Milton Walsh, The Apartments restarted in London in the 80’s on Rough Trade (after Walsh’s brief musical holidays in The Go-Betweens and Laughing Clowns), Sydney finally became the base for the band. Over a series of releases in the 90s and 00s The Apartments developed a worshipful following especially France but mid-decade they fell silent.

In 2015, The Apartments surprised fans by reemerging—after over a decade of silence—with No Song, No Spell, No Madrigal, an album that saw a new audience drawn to The Apartments music. By year’s end, readers and critics of French music magazine Magic named No Song, No Spell, No Madrigal its Album of the Year.

Five years later, In and Out of the Light – out now via the Bordeaux-based French indie Talitres – is the highly anticipated follow up that will once more appeal to existing fans and new ones as well. Listeners will again find themselves reflected in songs which, laced with the light of optimism, speak to situations all of us face and deal with at some point. The Apartments exquisite instrumentation and beautiful harmonies work together with Peter Milton Walsh’s impressionistic storytelling beautifully on “In and Out of the Light.” Here are eight songs to get lost in—for a day, for a week, for a lifetime.
