” Perth six-piece Apricot Rail do the instrumental thing right on ‘Basket Press’, the first single from second album Quarrels. It might show signs of post-rock in its build and classical or folk in its gentle woodwinds, while the guitars recall the more placid side of Sonic Youth, but it’s engaging in a way all its own. Songs for the album came during a hiatus in late 2009, following the band’s self-titled debut. ”
