Climb Up

甫签给英国独立音乐厂牌ATP的美国三人乐队Apse，先是去年重新发行了2006年的首张专辑《Spirit》，紧接着这年也发表了乐队成军10年来的第三张专辑《Climb Up》。Apse的出现适逢Post-Rock全面爆发后的90年代末，于是在他们的前三张独立发表的单曲作品裡，有着极为鲜明的后摇滚色彩；随后他们落脚于西班牙的Acuarela厂牌并同时发表首张正式的EP唱片《Apse》。成军10周年的纪念唱片，Apse甫从一支较贴近Post-Rock路线的演奏乐队摇身成为折衷Shoegaze、Ambient、Gothic Rock乃至Post-Punk等丰富素材的Indie组合；专辑内像是《Blown Doors》、《Rock》等歌曲，彷彿是JAMC遇上了The Horrors亦或Blueneck那般精采，同时也是Apse最回归摇滚路线的一击。



Singer and multi-instrumentalist Robert Toher formed Apse nine years ago in that hotbed of musical activity Newtown, Connecticut. The rest of the band -- Michael Gundlach, John Mordecai, Jed Armour, Brandon Collins, Aaron Piccirillo -- has accreted over the years. The group’s membership remains fluid, however, and the band is joined by other friends and associates when time and opportunity presents itself. In recent years they have developed an ardent fanbase in Europe where live performances have taken on a great intensity, but Apse’s members currently reside on or near Cape Cod and the Islands -- an arm-shaped peninsula that juts off eastern Massachusetts into the Atlantic. Away from the hubbub of the city, the group value their ability to create art without the distractions of any known musical “scene.”
