Friendly reminder that
earlier this week I announced the re-issuing of
Apollo Up!'s sophomore album,
Chariots of Fire. It's been fully remastered by
John Baldwin (Public Image Ltd, Jesus Lizard, countless Light in the Attic releases) and sounds better than ever. People are already saying great things about the reissue!
- ION Magazine review - "The most illuminating moments of the song happen when he and the band channel the same velvet draped darkness that Greg Dulli and the Afghan Whigs used to so effortlessly harness." Lovely.
- Nashville Scene - "...the album is a treasure-trove of interlocking riffage that doesn't sag under the weight of too much calculation - it's a full-throated rock record, with plenty of pop hooks..."
While we all patiently await the December 16th release, have a listen to
Walking the Plank, watch the
announcement video and, for goodness sake,
order the vinyl.
