Apart is an artist whose work I've not come in to contact with before. Found myself having a little chuckle after reading the surprisingly earnest press release (which is probably worth quoting but I won't bother) although the record itself is pretty decent. Definitely one for the Port-Royal/Hammock fans of the world as this is one of them ambient meets post-rock affairs that bring to mind Worried About Satan and other emotionally-driven post-electronic artists. Heavy on grand piano and pseudo-Third Eye Foundation electronic beats 'Digital Frame' comes with all kinds of atmospheric hang-ups. I tend to struggle with material that is as outwardly dramatic in delivery as this but it's obvious to me that it's well executed stuff played with a passion and intensity that will be recognised and appreciated.
“Digital Frame” is a completely instrumental album. Inspired and mature. A collage of images which shall certainly not feign the indifference of those who love groups such as Port-Royal, Hammock, Helios and all the n5MD, but also those who enjoy Ludovico Einaudi, Sigur Ros and all those artists who are able to transform their most intimate and personal emotions into music.
“Digital Frame” is the sound track of a trip, a trip towards ones own refuge, the place where each one of us conceals his own heart, there where each person feels free and in peace with the world…and feels truly at home…at times it’s real, at times it’s a dream, almost always it’s far away…and the easiest way to get there is by closing one’s eyes…
