Snowapple Unveils New Album, Wrong Feet

Snowapple Unveils New Album, Wrong Feet

The trio’s fifth album introduces African and Caribbean flavours to jazz beats, paying homage to the iconic saxophonist Sean Bergin.

Singing with an international group of musicians from Senegal, Mexico, South Africa, and Scotland, Snowapple’s fifth album, Wrong Feet, is a reimagined jazz collection, incorporating African and Caribbean musical references into five new songs. The project pays tribute to Sean Bergin, an important figure in the international jazz scene, known for his compositions that blend his South African roots with typically Dutch improvised music. Sean Bergin is also Una Bergin’s father, the singer behind Snowapple, along with singer and pianist Laura Polence and singer and clarinettist Laurien Schreuder.

The songs explore themes of finding beauty in everyday life, childlike joy and nature, dreams of someone far away, the strangeness and inconvenience of having a body, and how the ‘wrong feet’ sometimes walk over you — and how you can decide not to let this happen anymore. At the core of this album are three songs (“Green Morning,” “Afternoon,” and “Lemon Lullaby”), created in collaboration with West African musicians. These energetic, danceable tracks seamlessly blend Snowapple’s sound with traditional percussion and buzzing electric synth lines.

“Green Morning” is the latest release, accompanied by a video starring artist and musician Mame N’Diack Thiam. The production follows him through his morning routine, connecting with nature and finding peace, grounding, and strength through meditation. Mame worked closely with Snowapple and filmmakers Andres Fouché and Sisi van Halsema to develop and shoot the video. The process was a long journey, spanning over half a year of experiments and workshopping. In the end, Mame and Snowapple returned to simple and direct storytelling, finding that it best matched the essence of the music.
