Palms (Band)

Palms is an American post-rock band from Los Angeles, California that was founded in 2011.

History

The band was formed by Jeff Caxide ( electric bass), Aaron Harris ( drums) and guitarist and keyboardist Bryant Clifford Meyer founded in 2011, after the band Isis had dissolved. Drummer Harris had already accompanied the band Deftones as drum technician on tour and thus met singer Chino Moreno. After the members had sent a demo Moreno and Moreno had sent back the demo with his singing, he finally came across as a singer for the band. The end of 2012 the band went into the studio to record their self-titled debut album, which was released in late June 2013.

Style

Andreas Schiffmann of musikreviews.de ordered the self-titled debut to the post-rock, the vocals Moreno expressionless and in contrast to the works of Deftones did not turn out aggressive. Mark L. wrote on the same page that the strengths lay more in the instrumental passages and less singing. He compared the band also with Jeff Caxides project Crone. The band describes itself as "heavy, stargazing rock outfit ". After drummer Harris, the music also differs significantly from the previous band Isis: " [ The songs are ] a structure that we had at Isis never. There are verses and choruses - we have written a lot more normal, quieter songs and experimented with things that we only touched at Isis ".
