甫簽給英國獨立音樂廠牌ATP的美國三人樂隊Apse，先是去年重新發(fā)行了2006年的首張專輯《Spirit》，緊接著這年也發(fā)表了樂隊成軍10年來的第三張專輯《Climb Up》。Apse的出現(xiàn)適逢P(guān)ost-Rock全面爆發(fā)后的90年代末，于是在他們的前三張獨立發(fā)表的單曲作品裡，有著極為鮮明的后搖滾色彩；隨后他們落腳于西班牙的Acuarela廠牌并同時發(fā)表首張正式的EP唱片《Apse》。成軍10周年的紀(jì)念唱片，Apse甫從一支較貼近Post-Rock路線的演奏樂隊搖身成為折衷Shoegaze、Ambient、Gothic Rock乃至Post-Punk等豐富素材的Indie組合；專輯內(nèi)像是《Blown Doors》、《Rock》等歌曲，彷彿是JAMC遇上了The Horrors亦或Blueneck那般精采，同時也是Apse最回歸搖滾路線的一擊。

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.”
