Palm has been in the list of 2018’s most anticipated albums for a reason; the band’s new tunes have consistently delivered on the fun and frenetic pop front. The Philly art-rockers will release Rock Island on February. 9th, but their latest is the lush, eccentric single “Composite.”
“Composite” is fidgety and sprawling, opening with an anxious guitar scratch before plunging into a ever-shifting landscape of opulent psych-pop. “You only like me in my most peculiar state on Saturdays,” singer Kasra Kurt discerns, “But I can’t harvest all the soft delusions central to your game.” The jittery melodies of “Composite” add colorful perplexity to his worry.
Rock Island is out February. 9th on Carpark Records.
