"Half-Steps Toward Bright Skies" CD NOW AVAILABLE
Two years in the making, Half-Steps Toward Bright Skies is Apple Orchard's debut cd. Devised, conceptualized, manipulated, soaked in reverb and realized by brothers Ryan and Dale Marquez, the album, released on the band's own label, Haymarket Recordings, is an assemblage of twelve of the most pensive, melancholic pop tunes the duo has ever written and recorded. Compared to the minimalist lo-fi bedroom pop of the band's early releases, the duo has expanded their sound in Half-Steps Toward Bright Skies as the songs are drenched with layers upon layers of dreamy keyboards and luminous guitars. With song titles like "Weather Patterns" and "Midnight Stars And Kisses", it's an imperfect soundtrack for the lovelorn, the heartsick and the aimless wanderers.
Tracklist: “Unfazedâ€, “Weather Patternsâ€, “Harshâ€, “The Comforts Of Strangersâ€, “Rain, As We Know Itâ€, “Half-Steps Toward Bright Skiesâ€, “A Fine Warningâ€, “I Can’t Feel Sorryâ€, “Dreaming (As The Summer Fades)â€, “The Saddest, Perfect Endingâ€, “Midnight Stars And Kisses†and “The Cloud Fleetsâ€.

BIO
Originally from Manila, Philippines and now based in California, Apple Orchard is composed of brothers Ryan and Dale. While strumming guitars, toying around a casiotone and recording in the bedroom were listed tops on their not-so-countless hobbies, Apple Orchard draws up gentle pop songs and sings about lost and found love, summertime and loveletters.
