Palm’s been on our radar for a little while now, and they even landed a track on our Top Songs of 2017 , which is reason enough to be excited about what’s next for the band. But the experimental indie-math-pop group seems to be taking that sound to more interesting, and much weirder places with Rock Island, their first for Carpark Records.
Lead single “Pearly” feels a bit like Battles gone tropical, which is as fun and confusing as it sounds. But it’s to the band’s credit they make twisted time signatures sound so immediate and accessible. It seems like a promising year for oddball sounds with stuff like this at the forefront.
