Artist News Releases
Apparat announces first solo album for six years
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 23 January 2019
Apparat has announced that he will release his new album, ‘LP5’, on 22 Mar. He’ll also play two UK shows in London and Brighton in April.
His first solo outing since 2013, it follows two studio albums by Moderat, the trio he formed with Modeselektor. That project has had a big impact on his return to solo work, he says, in that it allows him to pursue something different under his solo guise.
“I was only able to make the record this way because Moderat exists”, he notes. “Having a huge stage with Moderat gave me a setting for grand gestures and meant I could unburden Apparat from these aspirations. I don’t have to write big pop hymns here; I can just immerse myself in the details and the structures”.
Apparat will perform live at the Attenborough Centre in Brighton on 26 Apr and London’s Barbican Centre on 27 Apr.
Here’s the new album’s first single ‘Dawan’:
