Formed in the late 2000s around the talents of Guy Berryman (Coldplay), Magne Furuholmen (a-ha), and Jonas Bjerre (Mew), modern rock supergroup Apparatjik first appeared on the 2008 benefit compilation Bruce Parry Presents: Amazon - Tribe - Songs for Survival. The band released the single "Electric Eye" as a free download the following year and announced plans for a proper full-length in 2010. ~ James Christopher Monger
