We had the pleasure of interviewing Palace over Zoom video! Palace share their profound and pensive new album Shoals, out today on Avenue A / Fiction. Shoals is the UK 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 You', 'Where 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 Academy and US tour dates at NYC's Webster Hall, DC's 9:30 Club, Austin's Empire Garage, and The Fonda in Los Angeles.
