The Green Apple Sea - Dark Kid (2026) Hi-Res

Green Apple Sea songwriter Stefan Prange's childhood and adolescence weren't always easy. The fact that his stepfather nicknamed his father "Satan" only seems strange in retrospect. And the fact that his stepbrothers chained him to a stair railing with a bicycle lock when no one else was around to watch him might seem a bit cruel in hindsight. But for 10-year-old Prange, it was nothing out of the ordinary. "Dark Kid" is the concept album about all of this. "Dark Kid" isn't about making the audience feel childhood trauma or depression. It's about transforming sadness into melancholy, bitterness into a shrug, anger into an outstretched hand.

Ten songs brimming with Stefan Prange's wisdom and wit, wrapped in the cozy warmth of a Christian "Wuschi" Ebert production – an album like a long, tight hug.
