The Los Angeles singer-songwriter's debut EP arrives May 29, with a release show at Kingsley alongside Grampa Dawn and Kal Madsen.
Gabriel Warne has been writing songs for years, but White Apples is the first record to carry that name. Out today, the six-song EP is also his first release since retiring the Gabriel Deibel project, under which he put out the full-length All Through the Summer — made with producer Dave Raven at Honkey Abbey Studios — back in 2021.
If a new name suggests a clean reinvention, the songs resist the framing. White Apples is small by design: six tracks, mostly voice and guitar, recorded at PulpArts Studios in Jacksonville, Florida, engineered by Danny Clifton and mixed and mastered by Alan Sanderson. Warne describes the sessions as loose to the point of improvised, choosing the next song to record as the last one faded out. He calls it a way of playing that "felt fresh and immediate," and the result reads less like a statement than a snapshot — these were simply the songs he felt like recording that day.
That offhandedness is the EP's organizing principle, and it mostly works in its favor. The writing runs on plain, faintly surreal images — "a corpse, a plate, an egg at evening time" — and a refrain that turns restlessness into something close to a mantra: "Changing, always rearranging / Can't help me, I'm nowhere." There's an unguarded quality here that a glossier production might have sanded off.
Warne describes himself as an "alchemist" and draws openly on literature, painting, sculpture, and architecture; in the EP's own notes he talks about wanting to leave the world richer and kinder than he found it. The songs are more modest than that mission statement, and they're better for it. By his own account, White Apples comes from a stretch when music slid from a priority to a refuge — something he made while attending to the harder work of getting by. "Through these challenges," he says, "I bloomed."

“Songs, songs, songs. Six songs suspended in air. Between the gaps of his guitar strings, and the breath of each word that he sings, these songs are simple, short, and sweet. Collected and presented in this way for no particular reason other than these were the songs that I chose to record in the studio that day. I would be considering what song to play next as the final take of the previous song closed out; my voice would still be humming upon the bed of strings it lay.. In that looseness, and in that freedom, I came to play my music in a way that felt fresh and immediate and complete in a way that music never is. I share these songs to mark this point in my life where music became my secondary focus as I turned to the priority of survival, and through these challenges I bloomed.”
