“Lifeboat Candidate,” Palm Ghosts (Ice Queen Records)
If ever there was a need for some good dystopian pop, 2021 is the year. And thankfully Palm Ghosts heard the call.
The band’s eight-track “Lifeboat Candidate” finds Palm Ghosts in a more propulsive, muscular rock mood, with tons more biting shards of guitar, arpeggiated synths and pulsating drums. It’s richer, with more textures and represents a great evolution.
