Applesauce Tears lure us into “Faded and Braided” with a processional and melodic introduction before the tones sparkle some and it sounds like something out of late 1960s existential drama. It’s expansive and enigmatic, alluring in its intertwining of orchestral arrangements and classical sensibilities. If not for some of the attention to modern production techniques and mixing one might be excused for thinking it’s a long lost, psychedelicized art rock instrumental and when the vocals come in after the three minute mark like Black Mountain indulging more of its gift for soundscaping outside the realm of heavy music. It has the dusky and transporting mood one expects out of a Sofia Coppola film soundtrack imbued with a sense of wonder and romance with shades of mystery. Listen to “Faded and Braided” on Spotify and follow Applesauce Tears at its website.
