If I’m completely honest, Aptøsrs had me at the dinosaur.
Everything else was an added bonus.
Aptøsrs (pronounced like the dinosaur, “Apatosaurus”) is the new project from composer and songwriter Paul Terry and they’ll be releasing their debut album Elders on March 29th. From that album comes the debut single “Rust Mountain” that was mixed by Adam Noble (Biffy Clyro, Nothing But Thieves, Don Broco), and mastered by Robin Schmidt (Pixies, Royal Blood, Wolf Alice).
Merging elements of synthwave with cinematic orchestrations, Aptøsrs seamlessly transitions between various styles and genres with ease. “Rust Mountain” shows that ease as it fluidly flows from its sweeping intro into lush beats before it settles into a gentle wave of sonic emotion.
Bold and fluid, “Rust Mountain” flows effortlessly through its melodies like a river meandering through a rugged landscape extending an invitation to one to lose themselves in its mesmerising depths.
