Age of Giants - New Music "Introducing"

http://www.myspace.com/ageofgiants

Without doubt, the band that I am most anticipating is "Age of Giants". The reason is simple. It's the new band of David Caggiari, lead single of "Apartment" (Very, very sadly no more it seems).

Now if you've been reading this blog for a while you'll know I think Apartment have one of the best albums of the last decade or so, The Dreamer Evasive is nothing short of phenomenal and I'm not quite sure why they never found the success they'd should have.

Songs like "People", "Pressures", "Ghosts of an Unforgivable Past" and the infectious "Fall into Place" do not deserve to be confined to the memories of so few.
Check back on my links for an introduction to Apartment if you don't know them.

Anyway, looking foward, Age of Giants only have one song up on their myspace so far.
You can stream it below.
Called "In Veils" it highlights a much different sound to Apartment, but like very much everything Mr Caggiari has done, for me it's a great track. Cannot wait for more to follow soon and hopefully some gig news too... Watch this space.

Age of Giants - In Veils by morrisday

Here is a live performance of what was originally a David song, which has no been re-done as an Age of Giants song:

Apartment #3 - NEWS

Hmmm, Apartment news, just as I conceeded defeat:

I quote from Apartment myspace:

David is currently recording with his new band "AGE OF GIANTS" www.myspace.com/ageofgiants and will be performing with it throughout the year.

Liam is currently involved in his project "SMALLER FORCES"... check out his music.

APARTMENT will be entering the studio to record some new songs in MAY.

Here is the first glimpse of action from David's new project, Age of Giants, a song that was originally demoed on DC's own myspace a good while ago now and available if you search the labels below:



I follow and await the magic words London and live, very soon, I hope!
Happy, happy days.

See post #1 for some other B-Sides / Demos and a live gig from early 2005. This post has some alternative demo's of some songs that made the album, The Dreamer Evasive, and also some more demos!
Other than a few more live recordings / xfm sesssions which I will post as a third thread over the next week or so, this is everything I have for Apartment - and maybe is close to everything that is "out".

Edit - see http://www.justmusicthatilike.com/2009/09/4-apartment.html for all Apartment downloads.

Album Rating 9.6/10

If you played Fifa 08 you would of heard Fall into Place, a song that should have been the soundtrack to the Summer of 2007 but that never was (why?!). That's not even my favourite song on the LP, Pressures, an epic from start to finish wins that honour, other contenders would be the haunting Ghosts of an Unforgivable Past, a live favourite and often epically crazy set-closure Beyond My Control and the pop perfection of My Brother Chris and 10,000 Times.

This list of songs without even mentioning the sublime Pop perfection of early single Everyone Say's I'm Paranoid ("...which makes it much more") adds up to make The Dreamer Evasive one of my all time favourite albums, and I do mean all-time, not of last week, what I found down the sofa, or what I've been forced to listen to by itunes genius. I'd tell you my play count of the song Pressures, but you'd probably call the stalker police (let's say it add's up getting on for a week).

If you have never heard of Apartment do yourself a favour and look at the links above and download some rarer material below. Why Apartment never received mainstream success I have no idea when much, much worse Indie bands were packing the charts at the time...

If Apartment are to continue, it is yet to be seen, there has been no news for two and a half years, David their lead singer has done some solo tracks (see post 2) but he has not performed live in the UK for 18 months either (he has done some work singing in Brussells) - hopefully we will soon have some news because I for one am dying to hear a live Apartment / David show ASAP!

Please buy The Dreamer Evasive and Support David's new band Age of Giants.

No Single or tour news to date.

Fans of Apartment will know David Caggiari as the lead singer, probably the most underrated band of the last ten years, a band who's album The Dreamer Evasive (BUY) will be in my top five of the decade.

David solo is more stripped and acoustic and it is an absolute pleasure to listen to.
