About this album

Apocalypso is the second full-length album by Australian electronic duo The Presets. The album was released by Modular Recordings on the 12 April 2008 in Australia, on 13 May in the United States, and 2 June in the United Kingdom. The album features the singles “My People”, “This Boy’s in Love”, “Talk Like That”, “Yippiyo-Ay”, “If I Know You” and “Kicking and Screaming”.

In an interview with Australian national radio station Triple J, the band members discussed how they came up with the album’s title, stating that it evolved from “Apocalypse Wow”, a suggestion by Hamilton. “Y’know the idea of the apocalypse and a calypso together. Something very dark, very intense, you can’t get much worse than an apocalypse. And then a calypso which is just super fun, like mojitos, steel drums.”

Apocalypso was the album that brought the Presets to mainstream audiences.The album debuted at number one on the ARIA charts, and achieved gold certification within two weeks. The album has since gone platinum. In October 2008, the album won the 2008 ARIA Awards for “Best Dance Release” and “Album Of The Year”.By winning the ARIA for “Album Of The Year”, Apocalypso became the first dance album to win the award. It also won the Artisan Awards for “Best Cover Art” (Jonathan Zawada) and “Producer of the Year” (The Presets), missing out on the award for “Engineer of the Year” (Scott Horscroft).
