Album of the Week – 17/10/25

There are new releases this week from bar italia (Some Like It Hot) and Tame Impala (Deadbeat).

We also recommend listening to Makaya McCraven (Off the Record), Mainline Magic Orchestra (Orchestra Magic Mainline), and Brògeal (Tuesday Paper Club).

For our album of the week, we’ve gone for The Apartments, who first released an album back in 1985. This is their 12th album, and it’s among their best.

Album of the Week – The Apartments – That’s What The Music Is For

From our review by Killian Laher

“Peter Milton Walsh and the Apartments are criminally underappreciated. These are songs to get lost in, at times seriously dramatic, while at others, subtle and lovely. And it’s not just how the music sounds, but how it makes you feel. It’s an album that changes the atmosphere in the room, and possibly The Apartments’ finest album to date.”
