  1. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    Arrives at the tail end of a summer it could, in another universe, have soundtracked from the start, with its dazzling production and dreamy demeanour tailor-made for dawn afterparties

  2. 8.0 |   Time Out

    This fourth album seals their sound, deserving a place amongst this year’s success stories

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    Dancing and dreaming at the same time is always lovely, and with Apar, Delorean have again provided a perfect soundtrack for just such a pursuit

  4. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    It’s always a joy to hear a band blossoming into something bigger and bolder. Apar is the glorious sound of Delorean taking that step

  5. 7.4 |   Pitchfork

    A broader palate is still under development, but Apar provides a path forward without forfeiting Delorean's effortless energy

  6. 7.0 |   NME

    Musically it’s not a huge departure from ‘Subiza’, but if it ain’t broke there’s no point fixing it
    Read Review

  7. 7.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    It’s a record for a particular place and time and as we enter the tail end of summer, it’s probably a little too late to the party
    Read Review

  8. 7.0 |   DIY

    An exotic, green-screen-daydream of a record that oozes vibrancy
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    It glistens like a pop album should, shimmering like a blue lagoon under midday sun
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   Clash

    A warm dreaminess froths atop these ’90s house pianos and blissed-out choruses
    Read Review

  11. 5.8 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    The lacklustre end to the album would be a less bitter pill to swallow had the previous tracks not displayed such promise
    Read Review

  12. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    The problems on Apar also emerge as the solutions: Delorean being Delorean
    Read Review

  13. 4.0 |   The Fly

    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

Latest Reviews

Kylie Minogue  Tension II

Tension II surpasses its predecessor, making the thematic connection between the two albums almost seem unnecessary. This collection of new songs stands alone, offering a tighter, bolder, and more emotionally complex experience Albumism

Kylie Minogue  Tension II

It is not wholly without flaws as stated above but still manages to solidify that Kylie will always be someone we just can’t get out of our heads Beats Per Minute

Mount Eerie  Night Palace

While much of it is in Elverum’s favoured strolling alt-rock gait with layers of distortion, the canvas is wide enough to encompass stripped-back acoustic songs and full-bore black metal passages Beats Per Minute
