The North-West’s legendary electro-prog-pop experimentalists a.P.A.t.T. are back with their first studio album in 6 years.
a.P.A.t.T. are an English ensemble generally known for their avant-garde music and multimedia works. Redefin- ing notions of failure and success with electronic art pop. Since their first release, (e.p.) in 2002 a.P.A.t.T. have released over 7 albums, numerous singles, 100’s of music films; received commissions from a Smörgåsbord of leading arts organisations, created a feature-length film and even starred in and composed for a BBC TV Sitcom. The last album Fun with Music (2016) saw the band more refined and focussed than ever... “Their most accessible work yet..in a freaky kinda way” said BBC’s Stuart Maconie.
This album discusses the ‘I’ the ‘WE’ and the confusing notion of self. 6 years since the release of the last a.P.A.t.T. album and the world seems to have changed. “It’s different now” muses General MIDI when asked, “We were all doing something pretty similar in some respect. We changed. We struggled. We adapted. We grew. We felt more collective than ever...maybe?” ‘We’ is an adventurous collection of passing thoughts, barely laughable references, pop songs andsonic experiments. It’s a look at people. It’s a look within.
“a.P.A.t.T.’s suitably madcap musical mix lives up to its title and is the definition of the word ‘progressive’ with a quintessentially British humour.” - Prog Magazine
“We love them. You need to hear this. It’s insane.” - Alan McGee
