Sometimes the hardest part of telling a story is choosing what to leave out.
The three women of Snowapple have done a lot of living, more so than many bands twice their age. Beneath the surface of this oftentimes unassuming folk/chanson trio are a tangle of experiences. Laurien has an international career as an opera singer but also finds time to moonlight with gypsy punk groups, model the outfits of fashion designer Mo Benchellal and read post-graduate physics. Una is a celebrated jazz singer who has sung with bands all across the Netherlands and France, she is also the daughter of beloved South African saxophonist/flautist Sean Bergin who found notoriety performing illegally with black musicians during apartheid. Fanny is a classically trained singer and composer who wrote her first piece for orchestra at the tender age of eleven (it went on to be performed in the prestigious main hall of Concertgebouw Amsterdam); she is also infamous for singing beneath the Rijksmuseum, clogging up the thoroughfares and toppling unsuspecting cyclists as open-mouthed tourists gather around her in stupefied awe.

Together they are Snowapple, a group that ambitiously draws upon markedly different musical educations to create a unique yet wholly natural sound. Their eponymous debut record (released in 2013 on V2 Records in Benelux, Debt Records in UK and Zip Records in USA) is beautiful and beguiling in equal measures, full of dreamy pop-folk numbers punctuated with the occasional nod to the more sinister side of the human condition.

Snowapple tours frequently in Europe, the USA and UK.
