Let's Go!

Released in 2001, 'Let's Go!' serves as a bridge between The Apples in Stereo's psych-pop masterpiece 'The Discovery of a World Inside the Moone' and their later, more polished work. The EP is anchored by 'Signal in the Sky (Let's Go)', which gained widespread recognition through its association with 'The Powerpuff Girls'. This track epitomizes the band's ability to craft high-energy, infectious power pop that appeals to both indie aficionados and a broader audience. The inclusion of a Brian Wilson cover ('Heroes & Villains') highlights the band's deep roots in 1960s baroque pop and vocal harmony. The EP is notable for its inclusion of acoustic versions and demos, providing a rare look at the skeletal structures behind Robert Schneider's often dense, layered production. It remains a definitive artifact of the early 2000s indie pop scene, showcasing the band's transition into a more direct, hook-oriented sound while maintaining their lo-fi, analog recording ethics.
