APPARAAT is a fierce group, with piercing guitars, atmospheric synths and a throbbing bass. And with the cool yet pensive emotion of Willems’ voice and lyrics. During performances, "loud" is their motto, but their demo also shows a more subtle side. "Wrong Tattoo" is their most spiteful track. It barks and bites. How would you feel if you got a swastika tattoo by mistake? Dry reverberating beats and whooshing keyboards accompany Willems' laconically desperate reflections on love in "I Must Have Loved You For A Minute Or two." "Metal Rain" sounds menacing and minimalist as if Fad Gadget got up on the wrong side of the bed.
