Esme Emerson unveil details of forthcoming EP, Applesauce

"There are two apple trees in our front yard. Every summer (since we were kids) the apples fall from the trees, roll down the hill, and rot over autumn. This year, however, our mum picked them. There were too many to eat, so she made applesauce," Esme explains. "As well as meaning ‘nonsense’, Applesauce as an EP title feels like home. Nostalgia is really important when it comes to our songwriting. It probably comes from being siblings. Making music often feels like looking back on our lives together. Our childhoods, growing up, making mistakes."

"Together" continues Esme and Emerson’s lyrical themes of kindness and the struggles that come with growth; wanting to be better for the people they love but easily succumbing to the comforting arms of melancholy.

“It’s about inviting someone to know you, to be in your space, to understand your sadness and share the weight with you," Esme epxlains. "It’s about how the years pass and nothing changes, these habits and follies still remain, and so why not just be ‘down together’? It feels like the perfect solution. It's cathartic to accept that maybe this is just how it is, and that's okay. We’re all just human."

The pair will celebrate the release of Applesauce with their first UK headline tour in April, with performances just announced in Glasgow, Manchester, London and Ipswich.
