Title: Tone poem
Product review: Vaugly menacing titles like "Not Every Cown Can Be in the Circus." A small masterpiece, a tone poem to melancholy in the tradition of Scott Walker or Leonard Cohen, but Peter Milton-Walsh inhabits his own universe. Sucks you in regardless of your mood, but best for down time. The band's most consistent album, and their best; "You've Become My Big Excuse" ranks with "Mr. Somewhere" among the best of the band's songs. This is an outstanding example of what is sometimes called Chamber Pop--and though labels are the death of creativity and imagination, 'Chamber Pop' is a perfect description of what The Apartments are up to. But appreciation of the term is no substitute for the experience of hearing The Apartments.
