Much like their previous band, <a href="spotify:artist:7hcJOolMkn9jRAAhaVSFnu">the Veldt</a>, in Apollo Heights Daniel and Danny Chavis fuse soul, dream pop, and psychedelic rock into Afrogaze, an intense, hypnotic sound that owes as much to <a href="spotify:artist:2AV6XDIs32ofIJhkkDevjm">Curtis Mayfield</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:776Uo845nYHJpNaStv1Ds4">Jimi Hendrix</a> as it does to <a href="spotify:artist:7JXwnoNAAY276k8wZVmpYf">A.R. Kane</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6DKmuXxXASTF6xaJwcTfjv">Spiritualized</a>. After <a href="spotify:artist:7hcJOolMkn9jRAAhaVSFnu">the Veldt</a> disbanded, the Chavis brothers moved from Raleigh, NC, to New York City's Lower East Side, forming Apollo Heights in 2002. The earliest version of the band featured just the duo and a drum machine, but after many additions and subtractions to its lineup, the group eventually included guitarists Honeychild Coleman and Monk Washington, bassist/programmer Hayato Nakao, drummer Martin Levi, and percussionist Shawn Banks. The band worked with <a href="spotify:artist:5Wabl1lPdNOeIn0SQ5A1mp">Cocteau Twins</a> producer <a href="spotify:artist:3ZqRIzadY4WYQEg4Hj2vGC">Robin Guthrie</a> on its Amoeba EP, and with David Andrew Sitek and the rest of <a href="spotify:artist:3HJIB8sYPyxrFGuwvKXSLR">TV on the Radio</a>, Lady Miss Kier, and <a href="spotify:artist:0Mz5XE0kb1GBnbLQm2VbcO">Mos Def</a> on its debut album, White Music for Black People, which Manimal Vinyl released in 2007. The Disco Lights and Babytalkk EPs followed, as did an appearance on the <a href="spotify:artist:6tbjWDEIzxoDsBA1FuhfPW">Madonna</a> tribute Through the Wilderness, which featured Apollo Heights' version of "Dress You Up." ~ Heather Phares
