Travellers In Space And Time

Description

Crazy name, but a highly under-rated band! Studio-obsessed indie rockers The Apples In Stereo seventh album, Travellers in Space and Time, their most hi-fi and hook-laden production to date. Described by frontman Robert Schneider as retro-futuristic super-pop, the album is the official follow-up to 2007s New Magnetic Wonder, and the bands second release for Elijah Woods Simian Records. Travellers contains sixteen piano-driven tracks, bubbling over with vocoder harmonies and sci-fi sound effects, like 70s AM radio filtered through a UFO; including the robotic first single Dance Floor, the four-on-the-floor dream-scape Hey Elevator, the Hall and Oates-tinged Told You Once, and the futuristic epic Dream About The Future, among many instant hits. The musical theme heard in these songs is strung throughout Travellers: intense pop hooks and electronic sounds, mixed with a pumping, get-up-and-moonwalk beat.
Anyone familiar with The Apples In Stereos career will know Schneiders ever-evolving production process is as intricate as the recordings he generates. The band spent well over a year in the studio recasting their signature pop sounds in chrome-plated futurism, all while adding a dance-driven vibe channelling ELO, Barry Gibb, and Off The Wall-era Michael Jackson. The Apples most ambitious studio production yet, miss this and youre missing out!
