Apocalypso, the second album from Australian electro duo The Presets, landed on Modular on 12 April 2008 at home, with America and Britain getting it that May and June. Julian Hamilton sings and plays keyboards, Kim Moyes plays drums and keyboards, and after two years on the road, including Australian support slots for Daft Punk, they came back with a record that sounds like a warehouse party at the end of the world: pounding kicks, snarling synths, and Hamilton bellowing over the top like a man leading a riot.
"My People" is the stomping, sweat-soaked centerpiece, "Talk Like That" is all menace and throb, and "This Boy's in Love" lets a little sweetness in. It debuted at number one on the ARIA chart, swept six ARIA Awards including Album of the Year, and took the J Award for Australian Album of the Year, right at the heart of the country's late-2000s dance boom.
