In the years following the dissolution of that original band, Toher and Stawiarz have reconvened as ERAAS. The new alias sees the pair swerving into darker territory, jettisoning the more song-based elements of the Apse repertoire in favour of spooky, rhythmic mood pieces. They’ve been keeping good company too, getting a taut, oppressive remix from Silent Servant.

Debut album ERAAS is the first release on Brooklyn label felte. It’s a diverse set, taking in hushed motorik (‘A Presence’), synth-inflected goth (‘At Heart’) and drone (‘Moon’). It’s not as murky as Lust For Youth, nor as spirited as Cold Cave, but there’s a delicacy of touch at play that gives ERAAS some degree of distinction.
