• Blackheart Apparatus
• Indie, Post-Rock, Alternative

Blackheart Apparatus is a one-man band specialising in electro-acoustic rock, based out of Madrid, Spain. As a creative outlet of a Russian-born composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and mixing/mastering engineer Mikhail Eremeev, this project is completely based on the artistic expression and the subsequent technical execution of the intention. The lyrics touch on depressive insecurities and existentialism.

Legacy is the final single for the album “Hopeful and Lost” (out 13th of July). It has more of an indie sound with some post-rock elements. The lyrics connect some political themes with the inner feelings of the narrator while expanding on the primary theme of the legacy we leave behind. It is definitely a downer.
