Around The Sun's new single "APACHE" serves a hefty blow to the chest. The indie rock/alternative stars embrace their most thrilling impulses in years, delivering a song that is simultaneously designed for clubs and massive festival fields.
"APACHE" erupts with fervor, and from the jump, it feels like a near-war cry. There's a confident swagger to the guitars and rhythms, somewhere between Kasabian's anthemic sprawl and Arctic Monkeys' sharp-edged bite, and yet Around The Sun somehow manages to set one alight of their own, developing a sound that is truly theirs. For "APACHE," the band's fifth single leading up to their next album, it's a statement.
This is the sound of a band staking their territory with authority, embracing larger-than-life dynamics while maintaining an undeniably raw and authentic edge. The chorus is a clamor, a chant crafted to be bellowed back by festival horde, enlarging the communal spirit that resides at the center of good rock music. "APACHE" is brazen, unrepentant, and teeming with the kind of indie rock spirit that won't be ignored.
