The Philadelphia band Palm have announced their new album Nicks and Grazes, which is out October 14 via Saddle Creek. Today, they’ve also shared the lead single for their Rock Island follow-up. Check out the Daniel Brennan–directed video for “Feathers” below.
“‘Feathers’ went through a few drafts—I was initially playing a plodding line on the bass guitar but something about the arrangement wasn’t working,” bassist Gerasimos Livitsanos said in a statement. “It was only once I switched to bass synth that there was a strong enough center for the atonal guitar and synth pads to make sense. The first one we tracked in the studio, ‘Feathers’ became an undanceable dance song at the last minute.”
