It’s Palm Haze day for me. Earlier this year I heard their song “Wildflower” in one of the Rolling Shoegaze threads and it blew me away instantly (and it looks as if it’s going to be on the album). I’ve made this comparison before, but if the idea of Sonic Youth’s 'Cross the Breeze being mixed with the shoegaze blasts of peak Silversun Pickups appeals to you, you need to listen to this song. I’ve been wrong before but given how good their debut EP was, I don’t think this album is going to disappoint.
I’ll also give the new Tool album a shot, but my expectations are tempered.
Was looking forward to the new Bonnie Prince Billy until i realised he was collaborating with some punk from the National. That’s tempered the excitement a little but will listen at some point
Think i heard the Tool album may be out today so i’ll put aside 90 minutes for that later!
Not expecting great things from it having been a bit underwhelmed by the singles, but will give the new album by the returning Salad a nostalgic listen at some point. The Sleeper album turned out to be far better than I’d anticipated, so you never know.
The Palm Haze recommendation was a good one though thanks, enjoyed listening to that on the train this morning.
