New music: Apache Beat – Another Day

This New York-based quintet's debut album, Last Chants, is a bit all over the place. Most of the tracks seem to combine at least five different songs, taking in everything from afrobeat to post-punk to dance pop to the Swedish nose flute (that last one might be a lie). The highlight by a mile is Another Day, which on the album version stretches out to nearly seven glorious minutes. Well, that's not practical for a single release, so the fat's been trimmed and we're left with four and a half minutes of dreamy new-age dance complete with a psychedelic video based around vintage art house movies. Lovely.
