It's always interesting to read an artist's or a labels description of a release. Usually it is a severe disappointment to read and then listen to what has been flogged. In this case the reverse is true. Whomever is describing Apt as a sort of sub OMD-Depeche Mode gets it pretty much wrong. And if the describers are the artists, pace and forgive.
This is a vital collaboration. Yes, DNA and fingerprints abound, but in the end it is about itself. It is thoughtful, joyous music, informed by strong structure and careful production. At only ten tracks, there aren't any discards. I detect more PSB on a first listen than Depeche Mode, though certainly very early OMD is present as well.
Add this one to your collection.
