The brothers love for Enya, Sergio Leone films and The Knife brings them to a crossroad that resembles few of its ingredients and presents a sound that utilizes slow rhythms with bubbling synths and simplistic vocal melodies.
2010 found White Apple Tree releasing the Velvet Mustache LP and the Peach Hat EP, the latter receiving both critical acclaim and vast increase in domestic support, while Velvet Mustache has spent the year snowballing into a top 10 record in Europe.
White Apple Tree has since been makings its rounds on the interweb, from numerous blogs to larger magazine publications, White Apple Tree has created a buzz with it’s charming recorded material and over the top live performances. Snowflakes, Velvet Mustache’s single, recently hit the Top 10 on the German singles charts after it’s placement in indie film Kokowaah. The song has also been featured on TV programs Gossip Girl and the Hills. Peach Hat’s lead single, Passed Out climbed to the top 10 on charts of the wildly popular blog super-site, the Hype Machine.
White Apple Tree is set release it’s next full LP in early summer 2011, featuring 9 new tracks and several songs that the brothers consider to be the peak of their writing potential to date.

For some time
For some time now
For fear of the unknown
You've searched for answers
On your own
Like a child on a search
Go ah
Go to Paris, go to London, go to Rome
I won't tell anyone about your broken bones
No ah
We won't stop until the moment we are forced
I won't tell anyone about your broken bones
I have looked on now
For some time
For some time now
For fear of the alone
I'll live inside of
My own head
When the time is right again
I'll let the sun creep in
Go ah
Go to Paris, go to London, go to Rome
I won't tell anyone about your broken bones
No ah
We won't stop until the moment we are forced
I won't tell anyone about your broken bones
White Apple Tree's song "Broken Bones" is a hauntingly beautiful track that contains lyrics that are open to interpretation. At its core, the song is about a relationship that has been affected by fear and uncertainty. The opening lines, "We've been together for some time, for some time now, for fear of the unknown," suggest that the couple has been staying together out of a sense of obligation or fear of the future. The singer implies that they have been keeping secrets from each other, and feels isolated as a result. He states that, "I have looked on now for some time, for some time now, for fear of the alone."
The chorus of the song, which repeats twice throughout, is particularly interesting. The singer urges his love to go to Paris, London, or Rome and promises to keep her secret. He sings, "I won't tell anyone about your broken bones," which could indicate either a physical injury or an emotional wound. In either case, the sentiment is powerful; the singer is willing to help his partner heal, even at the expense of his own well-being.
The bridge of the song provides a glimmer of hope, with the lines, "When the time is right again, I'll let the sun creep in." This suggests that, despite the fear and uncertainty that has been present throughout the relationship, the singer holds onto the hope that things can and will get better.
