PlayBack: Apartel – Full Flood

It was somewhat turn-around from what they did in the past. Not fully, but still. The soul train that is  Apartel just got bigger in 2018, and its Full Flood proved that they don't show any signs of sophomore slump despite going undergoing a lot of changes since the Inner Play-era.

Guijo St., appears to be the final single from Apartel's Inner Play LP. It featured Enzo Hermosa of CHEATS and Jermaine Choa Peck of The Ransom Collective and witnessed the entire collective on two different time frames.

Apartel may appear to be just another THE Ely Buendia-starred project since his post-Eraserheads era wherein names like The Mongols, Pupil, and The Oktaves had been ringing bells for already one-and-a-half decade and spawned multiple hits with only one resonating sound as similar to the famed 90s band – that is alternative rock.
