one thing we can be sure is that the music you will hear clearly belongs to the twenty first century. there are some touches of indietronica, atmospheres of dreampop, and sincerity of intimate emoish songwriting. just sit down on your back, look at the starry sky and start to fly with your blurry eyes.

bio:
justin langlois and erin fortier are the two folk behind the london apartments. embracing technology alongside bedroom pop songwriting ethics, the london apartments' eyes light up under the glow of computer screen and delay pedal LEDs, while their hands fill with guitar and synth surrounded with glitchloops and drum-machine rhythms. close your eyes and breathe in these sounds.

justin langlois = voice, guitar, loops.
erin fortier = guitar, laptop, synth.

release notes:
this collection was recorded as summer was winding down and the air was becomming crisp in a small bedroom in the county of southern ontario. weeks of romance and nights spent on children's playgrounds under stars shaped these sounds into the songs they are. as time would have her way with the youth in love, these weeks lifted off the ground and flew faster than the wind would blow. september began a new start to a dying season, but it was the most beautiful time in memory. finishing touches were gently placed onto the songs and called complete as the first leaf changed from green to orange falling ever-so softly kissing her cheek.

streetlights are soldiers

i scrape the pavement
with my feet
i move with the current
streetlights are soldiers
streetlights are soldiers
so hard i tried
i can move so slow
streetlights are soldiers
streetlights are soldiers
i get too scared to stay on my own
if i want to change i won't stay the same
don't want to move off these streets
i had the way out so plotted
i want to again

circuit

i'm underneath
if i stay
you're hands in on my door
turning so
i can read you like a book
i take your side this time
it's already too late
i can change the lockset
your keys won't turn
i would rather not
wait up for
you to return
the call
my messages go unanswered
i had to look this time
this time
so the clock stays numb

next year

this computer
will act as my journal
hard disk recording
that i can't see
the disk is running low
am i out of time
am i late
oh next year
will this track reflect my age
am i that old
on the chair
in this room
i can't keep track of who i am
these fit like a glove
and i wait for you online
the pills are late today
you won't go away

teeth

driving home
i feel tired
write me a message
on my dirty window
i won't forget
please stay awake with me
why i had to leave will remain
it's so dark
i think i had lost my way
this basement covered
with our times
floor sprawled for days
wont you come outside
to wait for the dark
i will catch your hand in my own
if i knew that this was all that i would have
i would never take it back
now at all at all at all

it is never goodbye

so the way i have all you asked for
under the light i stay
i make sense of it
for the path of ask for you to breathe
but don't remain
on your road i need to
be the part of your eyes
i won't understand
your last words
maybe tomorrow brings
the only place i'll stay
under your watch
under your watch
my hands are splitting at their seams
my hands are splitting at their seams
at the seams
