Autumn in Suffolk brings with it a particular kind of magic. As apples fall from trees and roll down hills to rot in gardens, siblings Esme Emerson are reflecting on the changing seasons - both meteorological and metaphorical. It's a fitting backdrop for their current state of artistic flux. The duo aren't just watching fruit fall; they're harvesting a bumper crop of new ideas that's about to be pressed, processed and served up as their latest EP, 'Applesauce' (due 7th March 2025, 'FYI').
