Apparat Organ Quartet/Gatefold

Description

The legendary and highly acclaimed debut album by Apparat Organ Quartet is being released on vinyl to mark its 20th anniversary this year. The self-titled album by Apparat Organ Quartet was originally released on CD by the Icelandic label Thule Musik and received rave reviews worldwide. With their unique blend of electronics, experimental music, and rock, they have become a staple at music festivals, performing on both sides of the Atlantic and in Japan. With a stage filled with vintage combo organs and synthesizers, meticulously playing each note by hand, Apparat Organ Quartet delivers a performance you won't easily forget: a wall of distorted organ sounds and drums, topped with romantic synthesizer melodies and mechanical vocals. The lineup of Apparat Organ Quartet included the late composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, who also produced the record, as well as current members Hörður Bragason, Arnar Geir Ómarsson, Sighvatur Ómar Kristinsson, and Úlfur Eldjárn.
