Apiary by Gingerbee

the fakest and gayest emo music ever made

Recorded in 11 cities from July 2021 - July 2025

This record was made using the same “internet band” process as Our Skies Smile, with parts being recorded individually and compiled into one project file. We spent countless nights screen-sharing our DAWs on Discord, deliberating the details.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us along our journey as a ridiculous multinational maximalist internet emo screamo jazz band. Everyone who played a show with us, housed us, helped us with booking, and came out to dance and cry at our shows has made these past three years so meaningful.

Gustavo would like to thank Jordan BSDJ for starting it all, the lovely people in lobsterfight, godfuck, and YAAMC for continually inspiring and uplifting our endeavors, and my loved ones who have endured me ranting about this record for the past few years: Gabe, Clementine, Abe, Jaso, Emma, Owen, Xander, Carter, Reed, Carol, Mae, Pai, Lyn, and Alex.

Melody would like to thank Cassandra, Lea, Lily, Care, Jordan, Nate, Cecil, Majd, Madeline, Kaylyn, Ren, Ina, Lyn, Willow, Char, Marc, Emma M, Kat, Navya, Ben, Iker, and Ashley.

Nick G. would like to thank My mudda, my mudda's mudda, sierra <3, treyceratops, raullita, baba boey, nico, bryan, alex, fab, ben, maliki, lauren, god complex, freak nation for supporting abd being apart of my musical journey
Mrs, Espinosa, Mrs. Gonzalez, Mr Peters, Dr. Cherry for giving me the most fulfilling violin journey i could've ever imagined
upnow!, Godfuck, Hotstuff Productions, Grimlitter, milkcrate merch, bsdj, vs self, catalyst for welcoming me into the screamo scene with open arms
And the original Gingerbee lineup for taking a chance on me as a violinist, musician, and person.

James would like to thank Rachel, David, and Sam.

Dani would like to thank Lyn, Peyton, Jordan, and Jerma985
