It’s always a joy to hear a band blossoming into something bigger and bolder. Apar is the glorious sound of Delorean taking that step.
Apar is basically Subiza II and that's just fine. They could have left the sound and approach completely alone, since it's a formula that works perfectly well and can/should be repeated over and over.
This 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.
Subiza remains a tour de force, and while Apar doesn’t quite pack the same KO blow, it’s still a mighty thwack in the chops.
While 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.
