Palm Honey are an interesting entity, ready to chew your ear off about their love for free jazz and Brian Eno as much as they are about how tour means the exciting prospect of a new Wetherspoons everyday. Their road is a consistently progressive one, especially so early on into their career.
The four-piece, all Reading natives, once dealt in sunny, reverb-laden fuzz before swapping it in for something a little bit more, shall we say, tainted. After forming three years ago over a mutual dislike of their college course, the band’s sound has mutated and developed into something which combines the sordid and the pleasant with a respectful mastery. Ultimately, it’s refreshing to see a band so at ease with going down whatever route feels natural to them, regardless of how much it may challenge their listeners.
