Apple - Featured Albums: Sea Lemon - Diving For A Prize

Going under the name Sea Lemon, Seattle musician Natalie Lew makes sonically blissful dream pop with sharp hooks and the occasional biting lyric rising above her washed-out instrumentals. After establishing her sound with a series of singles and EPs, Sea Lemon released her debut full-length, Diving for a Prize, in 2025.

2010
Alternative Dance
The NIN side project made its debut in 2010 with this self-titled EP. While not necessarily their "best" release – some might argue Welcome Oblivion is their finest vision – this 6-song burst is certainly their most accessible and immediate. Featuring all the distorted, electro-dystopian noise that defined NIN's late 2000s output, it's elevated by Mariqueen Maandig's vocals, which easily float from ethereal ("The Space In Between") to threatening ("Fur Lined"). It would be unfair to just say this is "NIN with a new vocalist," but to make an overly-simplified connection, think of this as a fresh spin on Reznor's songwriting that could have been found on Year Zero, The Slip, or the saddest parts of The Fragile.
