Palm Nick And Grazes CD

2022 release. Drummer Hugo Stanley, bassist Gerasimos Livitsanos and guitarists/vocalists/high school sweethearts Alpert and Kasra Kurt started making music together as teenagers, and spent much of their twenties in the kind of proximity unusual for adults, outside of touring bands and the International Space Station. For a number of years the band consumed the lives of it's members to a point of exhaustion. It was only after multiple freak injuries followed by a pandemic, forced a pause - from touring but also from writing, rehearsing, even seeing each other- that the four were able to regroup and see a way forward again. On Nicks and Grazes, Palm embrace discordance to dazzling effect. "We wanted to reconcile two potentially opposing aesthetics," Kurt says. "To capture the spontaneous, free energy of our live shows while integrating elements from the traditionally gridded palette of electronic music."
