Biography

Shall Noise Upon, released on September 2nd, 2008 on the Headless Heroes label, is the third full-length album from Apollo Sunshine. Recorded during the summer of 2007 in the Catskill Mountains, in a house inhabited by spirits (and next door to the home of the original Uncle Sam), the album sees multi-instrumentalists Jesse Gallagher, Sam Cohen, and Jeremy Black weaving through a multitude of styles (psych-pop, groove-funk, cowboy songs, samba/tropicalia) with assured fluidity and inspiration. This is not a band searching for their sound; they have crafted an awesome mix of original material that celebrates the journey through darkness and light.

Surrendering themselves to the collective head-space and transformative alchemy of Apollo Sunshine and with help from their friend and co-producer, Quentin Stoltzfus (Mazarin), Shall Noise Upon is an illumination of love in a world of “dangers”- real and false. The CinemaScopic arrangements on the album couldn’t have been realized without recruiting a parade of musical friends including: Drug Rug, Edan, Tulsa, Viva Viva, and White Flight. The result is a timely collage of lush instrumentation: drawn from home-made samples and field-recordings to singing bowls and jaw harp. The sounds on Shall Noise Upon come together in an impressionist tour of electrified music.

Album-openers “Breeze” and “Singing To The Earth (To Thank Her For You)”, are love-poems to nature and longing, weaving the emotional connection to the world and to each other as one magnetic force, while building and bursting to the sound of cascading autoharp and drippy pedal-steel.

    "Happiness" on Shall Noise Upon sounds so much like "I talk to the Wind" by King Crimson it's mind blowing. I have a feeling it may have been meant to be, and maybe even played directly after it.

    Saw these guys for the 6th time last night.. consistently one of the best live bands in the world. Why aren't they more popular?

    Katonah is my favorite of theirs, but I still like the new album, probably a little more than their self-titled album.

    The new album is fantastic. I love how different each song sounds from the next. Great incorporation of diverse styles. Hoping to see Apollo Sunshine play in Seattle tomorrow. They rocked when I saw them last year in Vancouver.

    It's taken me a couple listens, but I'm starting to get into the new one. There's a lot more emphasis on mellower stuff, but parts of it are beautiful and I love all the weird sonic details crammed into every track.

    Man, I hate to say it but the new album just isn't working for me.
