Whos that in his apartment?
The Apartments work extends over 30 years and 10 albums from New York to London to Europe. 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 Sinatras In the Wee Small Hours of the Morningwhat adult life could feel like, if you were lucky, then unlucky.
A new album, Thats What the Music is For, is released on 17 October 2025. Walsh says... This album reveals a story about timeof how past and present so often trade places and that in music and in memory, the people who have gone keep moving in and out of our liveswhere can they live now, except in song? We will be saying goodbye to them in bits and pieces for the rest of our lives.
The Australia tour by The Apartments to support Thats What the Music is Forcomes 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.
