Wild Palms are set to soar and swoop into your ears with new single Deep Dive. Thumping drums, confident vocals and a flipping catchy riff means that this song has all the components of ‘The Next Big Thing’. Layers peel off layers to reveal not only a 4-minuet pop wonder but also a slice of danceable indie and lyrics with depth.

It’s possibly B-Side ‘Human Behaviour’ which shows the band maturing into a new phase musically- finally shedding that ‘post-punk’ tagline. Whilst haunting vocals tease over a thumping bass line, guitar skitters across and tethers the whole song together creating an altogether uneasy yet engaging listening experience.

So yeah you could be all ‘They’re totally Gang of Four mating with Joy Division” but you’d be wrong. All bands have elements of others burrowed deep within and Wild Palms manage to learn from their influences without getting bogged down by them. Because you can probably draw a straight line from the Beatles to the Doors to Bowie and onwards to even Mick Hucknall (shudder/love)… Influence is derivative but Wild Palms are here to stay.

LISTEN TO: Deep Dive, …Over…Time…
