Palace Share New Single + Video "Friends Forever"

New Album Shoals Out Friday

“If Shoals is anything to go by, Palace will be filling stadiums before too long.” – The Line Of Best Fit

 

“A spare, appealing blend of minimalist folk and sweeping

orchestral pomp.” – AV Club

 

“Scarily gorgeous rock.” 

– Happy Magazine

 

"Feels like Palace's first significant work." ★★★★

– MOJO

Ahead of the release of their spellbinding third album Shoals (out this Friday), today London band Palace releases their latest single, "Friends Forever" (Avenue A / Fiction). 

Regal and reflective, "Friends Forever" is a surrender to longing, an encapsulation of Palace's "expansive and emotive" (Stereogum) charm. Singer Leo Wyndham directed and shot the video for "Friends Forever" on 16mm film, following his bandmates between NYC and London.

Shoals is the band’s love letter to fear and the fullness of life one experiences when facing it down. Unsurprisingly, the sea was a major inspiration, as the record posits the ocean’s violent yet beautiful energy as the ebb and flow between sheer panic and euphoric relief.

As frontman Leo Wyndham explains: “‘Shoals’ is a record about confronting our own fears and anxieties. Through the pandemic we were confronted more than ever with ourselves with little distraction, suddenly seeing who we are in the rawest of forms. It held a mirror up to our flaws and imperfections and forced us to see the real 'us'. 

The record symbolizes how our minds can have beautiful yet dangerous depths, like the ocean, and how our fears and thoughts are like shoals of fish that move and shift constantly from place to place; chaotic, often untameable and unpredictable.”

‘Shoals’ is comprised of 12 tracks, and in addition to ‘Friends Forever’ the album will include the singles, Shame On YouWhere Sky Becomes Sea’,‘Fade’,  ‘Lover (Don’t Let Me Down)’ and ‘Gravity’. The album’s release will kick off Palace’s biggest tour yet, with sold-out dates across the UK, Europe, and the US, including their biggest show to date at the O2 Brixton Academyand US tour dates at NYC’s Webster Hall, DC’s 9:30 Club, Austin’s Empire Garage, and The Fonda in Los Angeles.
