Shall Noise Upon is the third full-length album from Apollo Sunshine. Recorded during the summer of 2007 in a house inhabited by spirits in the Catskill Mountains, the album sees multi-instrumentalists Jesse Gallagher, Sam Cohen, and Jeremy Black weaving through a multitude of styles (psych-pop, groove-funk, cowboy songs, samba/tropicalia) with assured fluidity and inspiration. This is not a band searching for its sound; they have crafted an awesome mix of original material that celebrates the journey through darkness and light. Surrendering themselves to the collective headspace and transformative alchemy of Apollo Sunshine and with help from friend and co-producer Quentin Stoltzfus, Shall Noise Upon is an illumination of love in a world of "dangers"- both real and false. The cinematic arrangements on the album couldn’t have been realized without recruiting a parade of musical friends including: Drug Rug, Edan, Tulsa, Viva Viva, and White Flight. The result is a timely collage of lush instrumentation drawn from homemade samples and field-recordings to singing bowls and jaw harp. The sounds on Shall Noise Upon come together in an impressionist tour of electrified music. You need this.
