Navigation - Amber

Boy with Apple, the Swedish shoegaze / noise-pop quartet from Gothenburg, returns with their long awaited sophomore album, Navigation.Having teased the world since the summer of 2025 with rumors of a follow-up to their praised debut album Attachment, Boy with Apple premiered the album's first single Feeble at Roskilde Festival in front of 3000 people. Working from the debut's dreamful noise and melody and with a new guitarist, Navigation finds the band incorporating their shared love of dance music into the soundscape. Tracks such as Come Down and Simplicity bring the acid house experiments of Pale Saints to mind. Toxic Glue, a track utilizing one of the band's earliest vocal demos, could've been made by Pygmalion-era Slowdive. It's dreamy, noisey and rhythmic.Boy with Apple proves with Navigation that they are in a league completely of their own, with their only competition being themselves.
