Last Apollo - I'll Walk Towards You Last Apollo

I’ll Walk Towards You opens with time already passed. Somewhere far, far away, a goodbye is happening. The act of leaving cannot be undone.

Last Apollo’s debut album is a layered and complicated vision of heartbreak, where the sharp clarity of retrospect meets a big, blasting emotional centre. Rooted in a collage of genres (art rock, pop, folk), IWTY seamlessly moves between gleaming piano melody, arched string chords and proud lyrical honesty. The window is thrown open, a blasting air comes in and by the end, everything is transformed.

The album has taken three years to fully shape: at first rooted in a series of confessional love-letters, IWTY has become an act of profound dedication to craft.

Its clarity of voice and emotional centre is hard-earned and preserved by a deeply considered recording process. Lucy’s long-time collaborators and friends (Naoise, Sam, Emily, Cait) captured most of the album between two bedrooms. The group has taken the remains of heart-break and pieced them together carefully in a labour of love.

IWTY is defined by this act of transformation.

In ending, we return to the earlier goodbye but everything is different now. Last Apollo has taken absence in her hand and thrown it sky high. The act of leaving still cannot be undone and time once passed cannot unpass. But, in this collage of grief, care and honesty, we see clearly at last what remains: a massive artefact of love.
