We are a band. ------ WORDS With the decade's big post-punk revival finally loosening its grip this year, New York's Apache Beat veer off with the sound into tribal murk and gothy gloom. Appearing on a label better known for pop than rock, Montreal's Summer Lovers Unlimited (the Tough Alliance, Crystal Castles, Teenagers), this five-piece take their name from former Kraftwerk and Neu! drummer Klaus Dinger's phrase for krautrock's motorik pulse. The A-side of their latest 7", "Tropics" ...puts bongos beneath low, distorted riffs, haunted-house synths, and frontwoman Ilirjana Alushaj's mesmerizing Siouxsie Sioux ululations. Pitchfork The New York music scene may be in a bit of a stranglehold, but as these kids prove, it ain't out yet. [Tropics has] sensual tribal bongo rhythms play patty-cake with powerful post-punk vocals, accentuated by distorted riffs and a sleek synthline that punctures straight into the primary motor cortex, setting feet in spastic motion. The B-side 'Your Powers Are Magic' kicks off as a waltzy rock number, liberally laced throughout with lovely guitar work. But just as we get settled into the groove, singer Ilirjana blasts us against the ceiling with her powerful voice, and the tribal drumbeat sneakily asserts itself once more. If this is a debut, imagine them in a year. The world can't wait. Drop Dead Magazine [Live] local indie rockers Apache Beat built up tension with a short set of psychedelia surrounded by tribal beats. Frontwoman Ilirjana Alushaj shimmied in odd contrast to the beat of a bongo as her band stood still in trance-like wonder. SPIN.com Apache Beat are a five-piece from NYC that play partly-cloudy pop, synth-wave style. This punk-ish band comes armed with a kind of melancholy edge, and it's powered by the ominous alto of singer Ilirjana Alushaj. She sets the tone. Apache Beat's dark-ish melodies are accentuated by forlorn bass-thumps and murky keys. Oh My Rockness ------ RELEASES We are releasing Tropics b/w Your Powers Are Magic on S.L.U.
