    The Apartments "In and Out of the Light", CD, Digipack with booklet.

    The Apartments highly anticipated seventh studio album, “In and Out of the Light”, follows a cast of characters who, in the aftermath of loss or simply the changes that turn up in everyone’s lives, have been looking for some other way to live—and found it.

    A hypnotic, unforgettable set of songs, In and Out of the Light came together in a new way for The Apartments. Recording began in Sydney, at the end of winter, 2019. Working a few hours a day, one or two days a week, the album was finished in the summer, the final mix being completed the day before coronavirus lockdown hit Australia in 2020.

    The songs took shape impressionistically across the recording days, with details of melodies, fragments of lyrics and hooks determining the form—a departure from the band’s usual way of the songs being built up from a bedrock of bass and drums.

    Peter Milton Walsh and bass player Eliot Fish worked with producer Tim Kevin in his Marrickville studio in Sydney, while French Apartments, Natasha Penot and Antoine Chaperon, recorded their parts in various studios in France and English drummer Nick Allum worked in London.

    In and Out of the Light features Chris Abrahams from The Necks on piano. The track, We Talked Through Till Dawn, was recorded live in one take with Peter singing while Chris played piano—the same way in which they had recorded an Apartments fan favourite, She Sings to Forget You.

    With exquisite instrumentation, gorgeous harmonies and Peter Milton Walsh’s impressionistic storytelling, The Apartments have an album to get lost in—for a day, for a week, for a lifetime.

lyrics

Sha-la-la-la la la
Sha-la-la-la la la

Lucy the world has changed,
l’m sorry we’re left behind
You said the years were running out,
so you changed your mind
O Lucy the world has changed. We’re all fucked up
Please don’t judge me now, there’ll be time for that

You saved my life with a butterfly kiss
I had so many troubles that nothing could fix
Even the guy I was in Twenty Ten
is a stranger to me now

I know where we’re going now,
the world of never again
Every memory I have is a danger to me now
O Lucy the world has changed,
I’m sorry you’re left behind
But it’s not such a bad thing if people were kind

You saved my life with a butterfly kiss
I had so many troubles that nothing could fix
Instead of singing through the Summer
I shoulda worked instead

I went singing through the Summer, singing
I went singing through the Summer, singing
Singing through the Summer, I went singing
I went singing through the Summer
Jake, Jake, Jake-this is Chinatown…

You saved my life with a butterfly kiss,
so many troubles I just couldn’t fix
I went singing through the Summer,
then the Winter set in
I went singing through the Summer,
then the Winter set in

When it’s gone, it’s gone… it’s gone, it’s gone

Even the guy I was in Twenty Ten
is a stranger to me now
Even the guy I was in Twenty Ten
is a stranger to me now

So many troubles… a stranger to me now

Every memory I have is a danger to me now
Every memory I have is a danger to me now
Every memory I have

I went singing through the Summer…
then the Winter set in
