Wild Palms
The best way to understand Wild Palms’ music is not to describe it in context (but for the sake of argument, let’s say this context is; Bauhaus, The Fall and The Psychedelic Furs.) Nope, the best way is to SEE it. ‘Duh! Duh! Duh! Duh! Duh! Neeooooooo’ go the opening bars of ‘Over…time…’, screeching onto your auditory horizon before front man Lou Hill starts going all Mark E Smith on us while he sings, “Ovv-errr tii-mmeeee.”
They wholly embody the synopsis of the US TV series from where their name generates; a sci-fi drama about the dangers of brainwashing through technology and drugs. Wild Palms are the antithesis to easy listening. You’ll be hypnotised, Derren Brown-style, stuck to your headphones, by their raging bass lines
