The band's debut self-titled EP was launched September 30, 2017,[2] following the release of the video for their first single, Annie, the month prior.[3]

Self-titled EP

Moscow Apartment's self-titled debut was produced by Samantha Martin of Delta Sugar, three of the tracks were mixed by Guillermo Subauste[4], and features Michael Louis Johnson, member of Rambunctious, former lead singer of The New Kings, and brother of Gordie Johnson on trumpet. Blues and Roots Radio noted in a review by Phillip Bridle that "the maturity in the song writing and musical skills of the pair is quite remarkable.... [T]his first EP of five beautifully crafted songs is surely an indicator of special things to come." Shortly thereafter, NOW Magazine included Moscow Apartment in its list of Toronto Musicians to Watch in 2018.[5]
