Merge Records have had a good year, with releases from Arcade Fire, Spoon and Caribou to name but a few it’s fair to say that they sport one of the best rosters of any label, independent or not, in the current music scene. So it is not unreasonable to get excited about a new signing to Merge, even if we know little or nothing about them.
Apex Manor is the project of Pasadena resident Ross Fluornoy, whose previous band The Broken West split up in 2009. Under the guise of Apex Manor he makes melody based garage-rock.
His debut album The Year Of Magical Drinking will be released by Merge on January 25th. You can check out a song from the upcoming album entitled “Under The Gun” below.
