I am not sure if I like the new song from Apples In Stereo. Yesterday they gave away “Dance Floor” as a free mp3 from Stereogum (who has a fresh new layout). I’ve given the song a few spins, and am not sure where I stand on it right now. “Dance Floor” shows the band in a completely different direction. I didn’t expect The Apples In Stereo to go electronic on us! The band relies heavily on electronics and production on this track, leaving behind their old sound. The production is pretty sweet on the album, but I feel like something is missing. I think the song may need some cough …Energy…cough. I’ll keep listening, maybe it will reveal itself to me with more listens!
“Dance Floor” is off of their new album Travellers In Space and Time which comes out on 4/20 (oh dear) via Yep Rock Records. I wonder if the rest of the album is like this? Maybe I will tweet the band and ask? I posted tour dates below. The band is coming to Ithaca, which is only an hour away from my college! I may have to check it out!
