Palma Violets are sadly no more, but three of the band’s members have been joined by members of The Big Moon to form their new project, Gently Tender. This means they’ll sound instantly familiar, even though their slower brand indie rock might not be. Our new single ‘True Colours (Sometime I’ll Get Through)’ is out today. We shot the video in the historic Chislehurst caves just outside south east London . It was like being In another universe for a day far below the surface blistering heat of London .
“True colours (Sometime I’ll Get Through)” is a song that on the surface seems like a conversation between two people in a relationship. It’s actually based on a conversation between myself and unwanted emotions – like feelings of anxiety and depression. This is a theme in quite a few songs on the record – but on this song I’m studying and welcoming thoughts as if they are a long lost friend. Showing interest in the feelings and showing them I’m willing to be patient with them. Once you welcome them in, they’re less of a threat. This is how I’ve learned to manage these emotions throughout my life. Sam
