    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

They drove on through the fading light
They drove on through the fading light

What they’re looking for aint there anymore,
the places no longer exist

Looking good and going nowhere,
that was the story of our lives
You count the Springs, the Autumns too,
you count the seasons left for you
More behind than up ahead, more behind you now

Her childhood towns all fog and rain,
a past that calls her back again
Her ups and downs and Saturdays,
the rides she’ll never take again

Our England’s gone and so are you
Our England’s gone

You don’t look back or regret it,
the women in and out of your life
Had the years made it better,
all that waking alone in the night?
Wanting you was a habit I was quitting
and quitting again
But I knew that it mattered
and l’d always give in in the end

Her life seemed stopped, her life seemed over,
thirty three last October

I’ve heard it all before you said,
won’t someone put the moon to bed?
More behind than up ahead, more behind you now

Oh you were so unlike the rest,
my North, my South, my East and West
You were so unlike… the rest

Driving down deserted streets,
twilight filled with old defeats

They drove on through the fading light

Emily was left behind to find her way without you
The ones we love are torn from us for no good reason

They drove on through the fading light
I’ll never leave you, that’s what I said
I’ll never leave you

They drove on through the fading light
Won’t someone put the moon to bed?
