Album Notes & Community Reviews
Famously incorporating the 21-part shuffle suite 'Fingertips', 'Apollo 18' is a highly playful and eclectic geek-rock masterpiece. The duo balances incredibly quirky, humorous indie pop arrangements with surprisingly surreal, existential themes regarding death and science fiction.
