Apocalypso is the second full length album by Australian electronic duo The Presets. The album was released by Modular Recordings on the 12 April 2008 in Australia and features the singles "My People" and "This Boy's In Love". "My People" featured in the 2007 Triple J Hottest 100, where it placed at number 18.

After two years of non-stop touring, The Presets began production of Apocalypso in early 2007 by going to a farm in Byron Bay for two weeks. The duo had no songs written or any idea what the album would sound like before hitting the farm. Basing themselves in Berlin, the band continued work on the album while touring in Europe. The majority of the album was recorded by the band themselves at their own individual home studios. The songs were finished at a friend's studio and the album was mixed at BJB Studios in Sydney and at Seedy Underbelly in Los Angeles. The album was mastered at The Exchange in London.
