Palm Ghosts
The sound of an 80s prom in a war zone…located in the dead heart of country music, Nashville, TN.
"Palm Ghosts is a heat seeking missile for early alternative rock fans “ - SPIN Magazine
“Dance Music for an age of Chaos” - Nashville Scene
“If ever there was a need for some good dystopian pop, 2021 is the year. And thankfully Palm Ghosts heard the call.” - Associated Press
Post-punk.com said the track Blind is: “A gorgeous, tribal-infused track with equal hints of Peter Gabriel, The Teardrop Explodes, and Gang of Four.”
“Made in the USA during the 2020 quarantine Lifeboat Candidate has antecedents in Peter Gabriel’s third 1980 solo album, The Cure’s Three Imaginary Boys and the early I Will Follow/11 O’clock Tick Tock-era U2 but filtered through a modern American sensibility to reflect on the worries and horrors of the modern world.” - We Are Cult UK
Manchester’s Analogue Trash describes Palm Ghosts as: “Achingly beautiful, fragile and majestic music. An intoxicating mix of Shoegaze and Dream pop, taking from the 80’s but not in debt to it.”
