''Apocalypso'' is the second studio album by Australian electronic duo The Presets. The album was released by Modular Recordings on 12 April 2008 in Australia, on 13 May in the United States, and 2 June in the United Kingdom. The album features the singles "My People", "This Boy's in Love", "Talk Like That", "Yippiyo-Ay", "If I Know You" and "Kicking and Screaming". == Production == After two years of non-stop touring, The Presets began production of ''Apocalypso'' in early 2007 by going to a farm in Byron Bay for two weeks. The duo had no songs written or any idea what the album would sound like before hitting the farm. Basing themselves in Berlin, the band continued work on the album while touring in Europe.〔 The majority of the album was recorded by the band themselves at their own individual home studios. The songs were finished at a friend's studio and the album was mixed at BJB Studios in Sydney and at Seedy Underbelly in Los Angeles.〔 The album was mastered at The Exchange in London. Kim Moyes, describing the album, said "There is a few songs on ''Apocalypso'' that have been informed by our live shows in terms of their energy, after 2 and a bit years of touring we really found out what we liked playing and what works well live, but the album as a whole however is not all bangers, there are some very delicate moments too." The group also wanted ''Apocalypso'' to be far more song-focused. Moyes told ''Rolling Stone Australia'': "With (album ) ''Beams'', we didn't think too much about it. The more fucked up it was, the better. But now the vision’s been refined and instead of instrumentals, now we're like 'fuck, let’s just have killer songs.'" In an interview with Australian national radio station Triple J, the band members discussed how they came up with the album's title, stating that it evolved from "Apocalypse Wow", a suggestion by Hamilton. "Y'know the idea of the apocalypse and a calypso together. Something very dark, very intense, you can't get much worse than an apocalypse. And then a calypso which is just super fun, like mojitos, steel drums."〔(【引用サイトリンク】The Presets on Apocalypso )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apocalypso (The Presets album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
