The Apartments

Australian indie pop band

The Apartments are an Australian indie rock band formed in Brisbane in 1978. The band was initially a solo project for singer-songwriter Peter Milton Walsh, who is the driving force behind the group's music. The Apartments are known for their melancholic and emotionally resonant style of music, which often features lush arrangements and introspective lyrics. After releasing a few singles in the early 1980s, they gained critical acclaim with their debut album "The Evening Visits... And Stays For Years" in 1985. Despite never achieving mainstream success, The Apartments have maintained a dedicated following and have continued to release albums, including "Drift" and "A Life Full Of Farewells," which further cemented their status as cult favorites within the indie music scene. Over the years, the lineup has seen various changes with Walsh being the consistent member, and their sound has evolved while retaining its core emotional depth and melodic craftsmanship.
