Here is what Alex said about the album and the experience it should bring:
“Apricot Princess is like an inside album. you can listen to the album and feel all of those emotions within one night. it can be happy and dancey, and then you can think of something that you’ve fucked up on. then you’re upset and regret something, and then you remember that there are other things in your life to reflect on them. that’s “never enough” and “waiting room.” but “sycamore girl,” “apricot princess,” and “television” as the happier moments. it’s like a big party where everything is super positive, but at the same time you’re going through all of these emotions”.
