Palace have released a new teaser track from their EP, ‘Part II – Nightmares & Ice Cream’.
It follows on from their recent drop ‘Part I – When Everything Was Lost’ from earlier this year, and is set for release on 5th December. Following on from earlier cut ‘Rabid Dog’, they’ve now shared ‘Make You Proud’.
There was a behind the scenes look at recording ‘Rabid Dog’ at Unwound Studios. This was a song that came to the studio fully formed. We wanted the track to have a laziness to it intertwined with a moody, understated nostalgia. We recorded it live together at the same time in the same room in order to capture a real moment in time of us playing off each other. We wanted that lovely live rawness to come through.
Lead singer Leo Wyndham explains: “‘Make You Proud’ is about insecurity in new love. Questioning oneself constantly and overthinking at every turn – but still having this incredible patience and support from a partner.”
Of the EP, he adds: “‘Nightmares & Ice Cream’ is another snapshot of life and moments of the past year. It’s Part II of the journey, and one that’s felt very significant. It’s a hazy chapter of intense reflection to past events, but also a sort of purgatory where we stumble forward, stunned, trying to find some kind of grip on reality.”
