    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

Whatever it was that went wrong,
she poured it into sang
Whatever it was that went wrong

Write your way of town, write your way out of sorrow
Years of running round had worn you out

With your notebooks in a shoebox,
mattress up on milk crates
And the days repeating themselves

Weil hold on, that’s all l’m asking you to do
Hold on, I know l’m asking for a lot
But hold on-this isn ’t final

Write your way of town, write your way out of sorrow
Could you write your way back to me some day?

For a while the missing stops,
then it just starts up again
I don’t know how this ends

Well hold on, that’s all l’m asking you to do
Hold on, I know l’m asking for a lot
Hold on-this isn’t final

No feeling is final, just keep going
Hold on… no feeling is final
