The band have taken their influences with their own abilities and made an album that is as accessible as it is excitable, and seems set to capture the hearts and imaginations of young lovers everywhere.
Out Of View has proved that they are one of the elites in the ’90s revivalists pack because of their ability to add invigorating twists to their influences.
There's not very much, if anything at all, that the band do wrong on an album that packs as much excitement, energy and drive into 43 minutes that it can manage without spontaneously combusting.
You could argue that there’s something vapid about ‘Out Of View’ and its pining for an era when guitar bands really meant a damn. But when the filling’s this good, there’s no sense worrying about the shelf-life of Pie.
It’s a cache of catchy flavors, the sort of bubble gum sticky shit that you can’t help but chew repeatedly, and it’s made satisfactory through the brilliant self-production.
The album works way better than it probably ought to, and that's almost entirely due to the songwriting.
The music frequently bludgeons the listener into wondering why the song wasn’t cut dead about three minutes ago.
Nothing about Out of View is going to light the indie-rock world on fire; most of what the History of Apple Pie are doing is ground well-trodden.
Have seminal 90's shoegazers Lush returned to release a new album? Sure sounds like they have. Very catchy debut from The History of Apple Pie with a strong nod to their influences.
An exciting album that mixes Shoegaze and Pop together to create an album that has personality and colour.
