Sep 9, 2013Dancing and dreaming at the same time is always lovely, and with Apar, Delorean have again provided a perfect soundtrack for just such a pursuit.
-
Sep 9, 2013While Delorean captured the spirit of summer with 2010’s Subiza, now they’re aiming to nail the soundtrack to the end of it.
-
Sep 9, 2013It’s always a joy to hear a band blossoming into something bigger and bolder. Apar is the glorious sound of Delorean taking that step.
-
Sep 13, 2013A broader palate is still under development, but Apar provides a path forward without forfeiting Delorean's effortless energy.
-
Sep 16, 2013Musically it’s not a huge departure from Subiza, but if it ain’t broke there’s no point fixing it.
-
Sep 11, 2013Apar is left to sound good but not great, worthwhile but not essential, Delorean but not quite.
-
Sep 9, 2013It glistens like a pop album should, shimmering like a blue lagoon under midday sun..
-
Sep 9, 2013This is music that desires to be clutched to youthful hearts and fill sun-bleached fields or golden coastlines; a hunger to delight that is so insatiable it’s rather tough to question.
-
Sep 11, 2013While Delorean may claim that Apar is their record of maturation because of the record’s increase in production technique and attention to the “rules” of pop, the record still doesn’t feel fully formed.
-
Sep 9, 2013It's hard to hear a group fall so flat on the follow-up to an album like Subiza, but even though there are some bright moments, Apar is undoubtedly a letdown.
-
Sep 12, 2013Unfortunately, apart from the delicious pop dance tunes of “Spirit” and “Unhold,” Apar fails to make any real waves.
-
Oct 25, 2013A long look in the mirror, the band’s fourth record proves an examination of reflection, best where predictable and worst where you see something surprising that doesn’t belong.
-
Nov 26, 2013Sadly, these giddy heights ["Spirit" and "Dominion"] are frontloaded into the record. What follows is a tedious trundle through lifeless terrain.
-
Sep 16, 2013while the likes of Animal Collective and Yeasayer can sound like they’re from other times, places and planets, Delorean sound more like they’re making music for a lacklustre university recruitment video.
