Apex Manor

Artist- Apex Manor
Album- The Year of Magical Drinking
Label- Merge


If you’re like me you pulled this off the shelf because of the album title
(who doesn’t love magical drinking?) but here’s some bad news: it doesn’t
quite live up to its charismatic name. That’s not to say this isn’t a
decent album. In fact the relaxed, catchy, slightly poppy guitar based
rock on Magical Drinking has a pretty classic sound (there’s even cowbell
on a few tracks) and is very easy to listen to. Think something like a
late Wilco with less piano, more electric guitar, and a deeper voice.
