NEWS: Apollo Ghosts releases Landmark this May on You've Changed Records
You've Changed Records excitedly announces the release of Apollo Ghosts' new album, Landmark. Out on May 15, the album follows the group's Polaris Prize nominated 2010 release, Mount Benson.
After Hastings Sunrise and Mount Benson, Apollo Ghosts has written a third album about island paradise, doing the dishes, and love. Adrian Teacher wrote most of music for Landmark
in Sackville, New Brunswick and finished the lyrics in a small cabin on
Protection Island, after shopping for a weekend’s worth of groceries. Landmark
is the most domestic and personal album the Ghosts have recorded. The
songs are deeply informed by the concept of home, the worries of ageing
and lost love, sexuality and abandoned friendships.
Apollo Ghosts recorded Landmark themselves with the help of Jay Arner (No Gold, Fine Mist) in their practice space. Jay Oliver, Jarrett K., Amanda Panda, and Adrian Teacher
pressed into the shoebox room and recorded takes wedged between metal
bands, bribing them with six-packs when necessary. Unsurprisingly then,
their third full length album Landmark is inspired by tiny spaces
and islands at night; it’s about coming home, and being away; and about
being in a band on weekends with your best friends.

Ghosts have performed across Canada and the USA and have recently been
called “one of the best live bands in the business” by Exclaim Magazine. Weird Canada claimed that their most recent release was “the best 7” to come out in 2011.”
