The Apples' upcoming release and seventh studio effort, Travellers in Space and Time follows their critically acclaimed hit album New Magnetic Wonder [more info] and is their second release in association with Elijah Wood's Simian Records. The official release date will be April 20th ! Robert Schneider, the mastermind behind both The Apples in stereo and Elephant 6 is quoted as saying, "I wanted to make a futuristic pop record, to reach out to the kids of the future. It is what I imagine their more highly-evolved pop might sound like: shiny soul music with robots and humans singing together. We are sending a pop music message through time."
They are keeping with their pop mastery with several potential hits similar to Energy which has been performed numerous times by American Idol contestants, but they are branching out with futuristic sounds adding dance vibes similar to ELO, Barry Gibb and the Beach Boys during their Wild Honey era and even Michael Jackson's Off the Wall.
