Peter Milton Walsh began The Apartments in the spring of 1978 where he also briefly played lead guitar with The Go-Betweens. They commemorated Walsh’s departure in Don't Let Him Come Back… “Here he comes, with his twelve o’clock junk…who’s that dressed in black? Who’s that in his apartment?”
The Apartments work now extends over 30 years and 10 albums. The Paris Review describes the songbook of Peter Milton Walsh as, “… a world of smoke and gin and hazy regrets and horns and strings, like Leonard Cohen covering Sinatra’s In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning—what adult life could feel like, if you were lucky, then unlucky.”
A new album, That’s What the Music is For, is out on 17 October 2025. The Australian tour by The Apartments to support this album comes off the back of shows earlier this year in San Francisco and Mexico City. In March 2026 The Apartments will tour France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal. But Sydney first - at Low 302 The Apartments will be performing as a three piece in a night of new and old songs, and stories from the world of The Apartments songs. Team Building will open the evening.
