the apple tree under the sea, the debut album from breakout alt-pop artist hemlocke springs, marks an exciting new chapter for the singer/songwriter/producer. this is a fever dream of a concept album in which our heroine sets off on a journey of self-discovery—one that requires her to confront the chaos and repression of her past in order to claim the full, liberatory life she once didn’t even know was possible. throughout the project hemlocke displays her most adventurous songcraft and playful vocals yet, while co-producing the apple tree under the sea with close collaborator BURNS (Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Charli xcx).
