A Public Space Trout Fishing In Australia Pouring Milk Out The Window Car Crash Wadnama Most of the lesser shows have been the ones plagued by technical problems, making do without a decent sound-check or trying to cram in on a small stage.
With our set-up there[s so many things that can go wrong and gigs often descend into damage control fairly quickly. Tell us something about your music that we might not know. Each song takes a really, really long time to write. Who would you get to play and where? The picture Perth instrumental pop sextet Apricot Rail paint with their latest single is a study in suburban idyll. Typically minimal in style, it conjures images of sprinklers rhythmically spraying water out onto thirsty lawns, tinkling percussion as clouds of dandelion seeds catch the sun and woodwind zephyrs propelling stray leaves along wide, warm footpaths.
The guitars may be the most prominent element, but the entire track is so understated, that they simply form a part of the landscape, rather than dominating it. Apricot Rail are a band that continue to develop, the dynamics created from their carefully calculated temporal shifts are masterful.
With newest member, Justin Manzano now regularly featuring on laptop and samples, their sound has gained another dimension. The harmonising detuned guitars cement wonderfully with the wind instruments and electronics. Cleverly disguised pop music for the post-rock attuned mind, Apricot Rail tap into a sonic area that is epically appealing, yet vibrant and creative. The time had arrived for Apricot Rail to deliver a progression of post-rock parcels to the well-lubricated crowd.
A hush fell upon the room as guitarist Jack Quirk laid down a twinkling riff, which his fellow band members proceeded to unwrap carefully by sending layer after complementary layer into the crowd. Clarity descended upon the room — the kind of clarity that only clean, pure sound can bring — as the audience nodded appreciatively to the strolling-in-the-sunshine beat.
Hopeful as summer sunrise, yet laced with a sense of childhood nostalgia, the charming music of Apricot Rail soon had the audience spellbound. Throughout the set the multi-talented Juber played a bevy of instruments; clarinet, keyboard, flute, melodica and glockenspiel as well as the aforementioned horn.
Quirk, too, demonstrated a tendency towards multi-instrumentalism, playing trumpet at one stage and joining Juber in a crystalline glockenspiel duet. Whilst its music triggers immediate comparisons to post-rock giants such as Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai, Apricot Rail brings a distinct quaintness to this increasingly popular and diverse genre.
Recently signed to Australian label Hidden Shoal Records and soon to be releasing its self-titled debut album, this is a band who may soon be taking the express route to high esteem. Rather, the Australian outfit structures carefully these colorful compositions, so that woodwinds, strings, and dusty organ sounds are as critically important to the final product as the countless treble-heavy guitar tracks.
