Palm Ghosts
Palm Ghosts is the sound of an 80s prom in a war zone…located in the dead heart of country music, Nashville, TN.
More at home in rainy Manchester, the quartet weaves cinematic dream pop and new wave with brooding post punk. Embracing their 80’s idols, like New Order, The Cure, David Bowie, John Carpenter and even Divine, these Nashville transplants released 2018’s 'Architecture' to critical acclaim. With a steady stream of singles and EPs, the band has continued to write music inspired by their 80’s youth, but their most cohesive effort is now.
Somehow 2020 fueled a new immediacy and energy in their songs that only a year of pandemic, protest and political turmoil could elicit. The result, Lifeboat Candidate, is a dark and dystopian effort, filled with confusion and dread, albeit with a bit of humor and hope. The album is a relentless statement, not giving a pause between tracks to breathe like the micro machines spokesman, yet as suave as Dean Stockwell in Blue Velvet.
