The North-West’s legendary electro-prog-pop experimentalists a.P.A.t.T. are back with their first new studio album in 6 years.

a.P.A.t.T. are an English ensemble generally known for its Avant-Garde music and multimedia works. Redefining notions of failure and success.

Since the first release, (e.P.) in 2002 a.P.A.t.T. have released over 7 albums, numerous singles, 100’s of music films; received commissions from a Smörgåsbord of leading this, that and the others.

The latest album “We” pushes through the quotidian veil of mundane daily existence implied in its repetitious refrain to an emotionally ascending state beyond…thirteen, shape-shifting, genre-defying songs. – The Quietus

This album discusses the ‘I’ the ‘WE’ and the confusing notion of self. 6 years since the release of the last a.P.A.t.T. album and the world seems to have changed.
It’s different now” muses General MIDI when asked: “We were all doing something pretty similar in some respect. We changed. We struggled. We adapted. We grew. We felt more collective than ever…maybe?

We” is an adventurous collection of passing thoughts, barely laughable references, Pop songs and Sonic Experiments. It’s a look at people. It’s a look within.
