Earlier this year, Philadelphia-based group Palm dropped the brilliant Shadow Expert EP which marked another sonic step forward for a band that has continuously bucked conventions and rode their own rising wave since their inception. Each member of the four-piece is given their own individual brush to paint with across their art-pop soundscapes as Eve Alpert and Kasra Kurt’s guitars fly atop the angular rhythms of Gerasimos Livitsanos’ bass and Hugo Stanley’s drums.
Palm are set to follow-up on Shadow Expert in short order with an LP, Rock Island, now on its way. As teased most recently by single “Dog Milk,” the band has taken yet another leap forward crafting a brilliantly off-kilter piece that whirrs and pops while bleeding color at its edges.
Stream Palm’s “Dog Milk” and peep their upcoming tour dates below and look for Rock Island which is available for pre-order now and due out 2/9 via Carpark Records.
