On Rock Island, their second LP, Palm produces evidence of a distinct musical language, developed over time, in isolation, and out of necessity. On the island, melodies are struck on what might be shells or spines. Rhythms are scratched out, swept over, scratched again. Individual instruments, and sometimes entire sections, skip and stutter. There is the sense of a music box with wonky tension or a warped transmission in which all the noise is taken for signal. Like other groups so acclaimed for their compulsive live show, Palm has been burdened by the constant comparison between their recorded material and their touring set. On Rock Island, they render this tired discussion moot, using the album form to present that which could never be completely live, reserving for performance that which could never be completely reproduced. Despite appearing behind the instruments typical of rock music, Palm trades in sounds of their own making. On these songs, one of the guitars and the drum kit are used as MIDI triggers, producing an index that can be combed through later and replaced with new information. The percussion is sometimes augmented so as to suggest a multiplication of limbs. The strings are manipulated to choke, crack, and hum like other instruments, or other bodies, might. Working again with engineer Matt Labozza, the band spent the better part of a month in a rented farmhouse in Upstate New York. With the benefits of time and space, Palm recorded the various elements piecemeal, only rarely playing together in groups larger than two or three. While some members tracked, others holed up in the next room, experimenting with quantization, beat replacement, and other methods borrowed from electronic music. Even accounting for the many labors that brought them to be, these materials seem produced by an organic logic. Their complex friction forms a habit of thought, scores a network of grooves on the floor of the mind. This is music with dimensionality. Sonic objects are deployed, developed, and dissected in various states of mutation. The listener flits about between the field and the lab. The tone is warm in a way only the sun could make, the pace as forceful and as variable as a gale. Whether one locates Rock Island in a sea or in a refinished attic (as in Greg Burak’s album cover), whether one escapes to there or is banished, its psychic environs are charted clearly enough. Only at this remove from the mainland can we sense the conditions necessary for such a strange species of sound. “Palm’s unpredictable songs prove there’s still room for boundary-pushing in rock” FADER Artist Palm Genre Rock And Pop Label Carpark Records Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl , Includes Download Code Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1 Pearly 2 Composite 3 Dog Milk 4 Forced Hand 5 Theme From Rock Island 6 Bread 7 Colour Code 8 Swimmer 9 Heavy Lifting Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Palm and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Palm Nicks and Grazes Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Saddle Creek | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th October 2022 £22.00 - £23.00 Select options Palm Nicks and Grazes £22.00 - £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Saddle Creek Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th October 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Palm Rock Island Rock And Pop | Carpark Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 9th February 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Palm Rock Island £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Carpark Records SKU: CAK124LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 9th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Palm Trading Basics Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Inflated Records | 1LP Released 27th November 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Palm Trading Basics £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Inflated Records SKU: LPINFR014 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Labi Siffre Singer And The Song Rock And Pop | Demon | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st April 2016 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Labi Siffre Singer And The Song £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Demon SKU: DEMREC143 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wham!
