Velocity of Sound, the fourth full-length album from Denver, Colorado’s The Apples In Stereo. This is the band's first long-playing release since 2000's critically acclaimed The Discovery of a World Inside the Moone which featured the R1 single of the week (by both Jo Whiley and Mark Radcliffe) The Bird That You Can’t See.
No longer content with blowing minds, The Apples In Stereo want to blow speakers as well. Known for their psychedelic stylings, Velocity of Sound blasts off in a new direction, with The Apples setting their guitars to ‘stun’ to produce a caffeine induced power-pop masterpiece. This Apples album is unlike any of their others, exploding with fuzzed-out hooks and buzzing guitars. A cutting-edge classic, Velocity of Sound is destined to piss off the neighbours (or invite them over).
Produced and recorded by Apples leader Robert Schneider,Velocity of Soundalso marks the first time The Apples have brought an outside engineer in to mix tracks, in complete isolation from the band and studio-obsessive Schneider.
