    While Delorean may claim that Apar is their record of maturation because of the record’s increase in production technique and attention to the “rules” of pop, the record still doesn’t feel fully formed.

    It's hard to hear a group fall so flat on the follow-up to an album like Subiza, but even though there are some bright moments, Apar is undoubtedly a letdown.

    Unfortunately, apart from the delicious pop dance tunes of “Spirit” and “Unhold,” Apar fails to make any real waves.

    A long look in the mirror, the band’s fourth record proves an examination of reflection, best where predictable and worst where you see something surprising that doesn’t belong.

    Sadly, these giddy heights ["Spirit" and "Dominion"] are frontloaded into the record. What follows is a tedious trundle through lifeless terrain.

    while the likes of Animal Collective and Yeasayer can sound like they’re from other times, places and planets, Delorean sound more like they’re making music for a lacklustre university recruitment video.
