Taste Test: Lior shades himself underneath an ‘Apple Tree’
The Australian musician lets the flood waters of the past rise with a new ballad.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Our memories are branded with all five senses. What we see, touch, taste, smell, hear informs our perceptions of ourselves and future relationships, so when we saunter through halls of the past, we have trinkets we can collect anew. A staple of the Australian music scene, folksy journeyman Lior lets himself bathe in airy childhood dreams and grainy polaroids from his life. The backdrop to many of his transformative youth are framed around an old “Apple Tree” which stood with majestic quiet and true grandeur in his yard, a centerpiece that infused within him more than he could have anticipated. “The apple tree growing in the yard is older than the stars / Gold and silver, hide and seek / You were never mine to keep,” he sings on the song, which is laced with soothing string work and a piano’s weepy wail. The story blossoms with richness right out of the earth’s core, and his voice ebbs and flows with an appropriate lushness, too.
“Apple Tree” anchors Lior’s new album, expected later this year.
