Today's the official release day for
Chariots of Fire, the ten-year anniversary re-issue from
Apollo Up! and my own
yk records. I mentioned it
previously but I really do think this album was released before it's time. The visibility into Nashville's rock music scene has never been more acute than it is right now thanks to the likes of Third Man Records, all things Jack White, The Black Keys, Infinity Cat Records and tons more. But Apollo Up! (and
Theory 8 Records) never received the benefit of that visibility, despite the record being every bit as good as what's coming out of the city now.
If you're not familiar with the album, dive right in. It's
streaming everywhere and sounds absolutely wonderful thanks to the remastering job from
John Baldwin. If you like what you hear, consider picking up the
gold vinyl, it's a real beauty.
