Aptøsrs (pronounced like the dinosaur, “Apatosaurus”) is the new instrumental project from Independent Music Award-nominated composer/songwriter Paul Terry.
Debut song 'Rust Mountain' and forthcoming album Elders are both mixed by Adam Noble (Biffy Clyro, Nothing But Thieves, Don Broco), & mastered by Robin Schmidt (Pixies, Royal Blood, Wolf Alice).
Aptøsrs blends synthwave with cinematic orchestrations, lead bass guitar, piano, and drums that glitch between downtempo, breakbeat, and rock. 'Rust Mountain' (the album's epic opening track) is available to stream now.
The person behind Aptøsrs, Paul Terry, has composed and produced more than thirty soundtracks. These include the award-winning film Dave Stevens: Drawn to Perfection (the authorized feature documentary about The Rocketeer creator/artist), NBCUniversal's Behind the Panel, and the multi-award-winning feature documentary Sidney & Friends.
As a singer-songwriter, Paul duetted with Dutch artist Anneke van Giersbergen on his Cellarscape song 'The Same Place', and was the featured artist on 'Detonation Days' by Love Amongst Ruin (ex-Placebo drummer Steve Hewitt's band). Other collaborations include Kenyan vocalist Silas Miami, South African artist Lana Crowster, and British cellist Tom Wraith.

1. Rust Mountain
2. With Each Step
3. A Peaceful Way To Defy Them All
