Sydney's indie pop trio, Appletinis, are quickly becoming a band to watch. The talented trio, which features singer Jaz, guitarist Kieran, and drummer Josh, have been refining their sound and live presence, carving out a unique space where the sound can blossom. Now, they’ve shared a heartfelt meditation on loss and support in ‘Time’, their latest in a stellar line of successful singles.
Following their early 2025 debut, ‘Grow’, and the energetic ‘Girl You Think You Know’, ‘Time’ offers a more introspective and atmospheric shift. The band draw from a wide range of influences, layering the rock energy of Paramore and The Vanns to the intimate songwriting of Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish to create something that is both poignant and impactful. This diverse palette allows them to craft songs that often begin with a gentle, personal touch before swelling into emotionally charged crescendos. This is a formula that serves ‘Time’ well, with the song inviting listeners into a space of reflection and healing without ever feeling cluttered or overwhelming.
At its heart, ‘Time’ is an indie rock track that explores themes of grief and the quiet strength it takes to support someone through their darkest moments. The song’s production is subtle yet layered, with reverb-rich guitars and steady percussion creating a spacious soundscape for Jaz’s emotionally raw vocals. Rather than offering quick fixes, the lyrics sit with the reality of sadness, acknowledging the pain while highlighting the enduring power of love and unwavering presence. It’s a song that offers companionship during difficult times, a welcome and powerful message in a world often seeking instant solutions.
With its blend of warm harmonies and thoughtful instrumentation, ‘Time’ is sure to resonate perfectly with fans of Gang of Youths, Bon Iver, or Phoebe Bridgers. It’s a powerful addition to the band’s growing discography, offering an authentic and deeply human sound that gives quiet comfort and a moment of healing.
