Heterotopia is an epic progressive rock opera truly worthy of the name. It’s probably the longest and most complicated album I’ve uploaded to date. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I have!

Lyrics & plot synopsis at schooltreemusic.com/libretto
Schooltree’s “fantastically, defiantly ambitious” (NPR) original rock opera is about a girl who loses her body and must journey as a ghost through a parallel world of the collective unconscious to get it back. But something is wrong in Otherspace; it has been overtaken by shadows and chaos. In order to become whole again, Suzi must delve into the origins of this world’s darkness, going from the neon lights of her plasterboard horizon home to the bottom of a cursed river’s malevolent lullaby, where the fate of Otherspace and her own are inextricably linked.

Both urban folklore and metaphysical fairy tale, Heterotopia was developed over several years and recorded as a double album in the tradition of concept albums like Quadrophenia, Ziggy Stardust, and Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
