'Earthwaves' Out Now

We are pleased to present the ‘Earthwaves’ to you, APE’s seventh album. It revisits four of Kenny Young’s famous, chart-topping songs, headlined by a live recording of ‘Under the Boardwalk’ and a reworking of ‘Spirit of the Forest’.
The other eight tracks come from some of Kenny’s best friends and represent a rich diversity of sounds.
All the twelve songs are dedicated to a world where all life can thrive.



Please download Earthwaves and ask your friends to do so, too. Any sales receipts will help to fund APE’s work.

When APE founder Kenny Young died in April 2020, we entered a state of dormancy. Kenny had inspired many of the world’s leading artists to donate hit songs to APE, whilst allowing him to add new Cuban and African backing tracks. The six albums we released since 2005 supported 480 campaigns, events, actions and education projects globally, as well as disaster relief. They are still for sale here.


Now Earthwaves is a new departure for APE. Rather than relying on rock stars, its songs speak their own musical language. They celebrate the joy of life and urge us to make peace with nature. We must put ever more pressure on politicians, financiers and business leaders to counter climate change and pollution, and to regenerate life on earth.



Following on from our ‘War Against Nature’ ‘I Am The Ocean’ EP, Earthwaves is about our interdependence with all life on land and in the sea.
You’ll enjoy its rich variety of sounds. Please download the album, tell your friends about it, and help us raise funds for our work!

INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE JUSTICE
