Palm is an American experimental rock band, revered for their innovative approach to song structure and complex, yet captivating, rhythmic interplay. The band came together in 2011 when its members met at Bard College in New York. They are noted for their unique sound that defies traditional rock idioms, with a focus on intricately woven guitar lines, off-kilter rhythms, and a textural use of electronics that often lead listeners into a labyrinthine musical experience. Composed of guitarists and vocalists Eve Alpert and Kasra Kurt, bassist Gerasimos Livitsanos, and drummer Hugo Stanley, the quartet has consistently pushed the boundaries of rock music since their inception.
Over the years, Palm has crafted a discography that reflects their evolution and unapologetic experimentalism. With releases such as "Trading Basics" and "Shadow Expert," they established a foundation of critical acclaim, praised for their methodical yet unpredictable songwriting. Their 2018 full-length album "Rock Island" further solidified their reputation, showcasing an augmented attention to melodic content within their complex musical arrangements. This was followed by a set of "Rock Island" remixes, exemplifying the band's openness to reimagining their work through a different sonic lens. The band's performances, such as the ones captured on "Palm on Audiotree Live," highlight their technical prowess and ability to translate their intricate recordings into dynamic live shows. With more recent releases like "Nicks and Grazes" and "On The Sly," Palm continues to innovate, offering an intriguing glimpse into the future of avant-rock music.
