Thanks to attending SXSW more than once, I'm signed up to an infinite number of PR emails about new releases from bands. It's a lot of noise and I don't envy any publicist trying to break through that but, occasionally, something does break through. I know nothing about Atlanta band Applesauce Tears but their latest release, Balcony Confidential, is an immersive and captivating listen. The largely instrumental album is cinematic, psychedelic and dripping with vibes. If you're a fan of Of Montreal, Black Moth Super Rainbow, reverb-y sax solos and a wash of synths, I think it's a safe bet you should hit play on this one.

Turns out they have twelve albums and have been at it since at least 2010. It's a delightful new discovery all around.
