‘Dore Strauch’, the new single and its accompanying video by Perth-based multi-instrumental pop sextet Apricot Rail, taken from their 2013 album Quarrels.

‘Dore Strauch’ is perhaps the most incandescently beautiful track on Quarrels. Cascading glockenspiels, haunting guitar arpeggios and rhythmic eddies are stirred into confluence by gorgeous updrifts of woodwind melody, which buoy the song along a circuitous path towards an uneasy resolution. Directed by Jules Gay and shot in various locations in Germany, including Berlin, the accompanying video depicts a young woman’s hallucinogenic journey through both forest and city, through colour and monochrome, between memory and the now (http://youtu.be/VeTN3QNo2Ck).

‘Dore Strauch’ is taken from Apricot Rail’s second album Quarrels. A foray into more experimental territory than their self-titled debut, the album features lusher, denser instrumentation, is rich in ideas yet toys with new levels of restraint. The band’s trademark harmonic guitar passages and syncopation sit beneath languid brass and woodwind, balanced by glitchy electronica, dramatic crescendos and opium-infused oriental explorations; slow, meandering waltzes give way to moments of ethereal lightness and beauty. This music transcends fads and trends to appeal to anyone drawn to beautiful, supple songcraft.

SAVAGE FREESTYLE

The tracks on the “now i want to change” record are a collection of songs I made during the last three years of my life, a time that was a riddled with chaotic life-changing events. All the tracks on the album are inspired by this time, and while some of it may seem dark, it is more about the journey I took to overcome the depression, anxiety, self-doubt and irrational hopelessness that had consumed too much of my life. I also listened to way too much Cure as a child so most things I write sound depressing. Hence the title “Now I want to Change” (emphasis on the want).
