Who Are Out Of View?
Don't let their wacky name scare you. London-based quintet the History of Apple Pie's debut LP for Marshall Teller Records is an essential spin for fans of Dino Jr. riffs and early Slumberland indie-pop. Self-produced by guitarist Jerome Watson, the LP fits in that dreamy sweet spot between loud MBV-inspired haze and noisy Sonic Youth guitars. It's not all '80s and '90s nostalgia, though. What really shines here is singer Stephanie Min's gauzy radio-pop singing. It may be a bit twee for some, but others will fall instantly. A good place to start would be either of the record's singles, "You're So Cool" or "Mallory," though closing track "Before You Reach the End" is a slow-burning shoegaze gem as well. The History of Apple Pie aren't exactly breaking new ground in the world of indie rock, but they are the sort of band who win you over in seconds.Out Of View Review
‘Out Of View’, recorded in London over the last few months, was self produced by guitarist Jerome Watson, mixed by Charles ‘Chicky’ Reeves and engineered by Joshua Third of The Horrors. Joshua also adds his unique guitar sound to the albums closer ‘Before You Reach The End’. Released on vinyl, CD and available to download, the new album features ten tracks including their critically acclaimed and sold out singles ‘Do It Wrong’, ‘Mallory’ and last years debut ‘You’re So Cool’.
‘Out Of View’ sees the band take expansive and very exciting leaps with the new recordings. The infectious fuzzy pop sound of those early singles has been crafted and developed and they have taken the guitar aesthetic of their heroes - Sonic Youth, Radiohead and Blur - into new and glorious terrorties. Expect more tales of medicated teenage heartache and the psychedelic rain of slacker-genius guitar chops from Jerome’s home made pedal board, but the band have really come of age and the result is a truly memorable and exhilarating guitar pop album.
London based and formed just over eighteen months ago, The History Of Apple Pie line up is centered around the songwriting partnership of Stephanie Min (Vocals) and Jerome Watson (Guitar) together with Kelly Owens (Bass), James Thomas (Drums) and Aslam Ghauri (Guitar). A truly great and exciting live band, they quickly built up an ever growing fanbase of critics, punters and fellow musicians alike.
They’ve already played over seventy shows both here and in Europe including numerous festival spots, a sold-out show for HMV’s Next Big Thing, The Roundhouse Rising, main support for both The Drums and Male Bonding and being hand-picked by Graham Coxon to support him at his recent London show. As well as the aforementioned three sold out singles, they also recently released a split 12” with the similarly-inclined talents of Gross Magic, Novella and Echo Lake.
The History Of Apple Pie are set to announce an extensive tour in the very near future to coincide with the release of the album.
