“Carousel” is a new 7-inch forthcoming from Bay Area duo Painted Palms. The 7-incher’s lead title track skillfully walks that often difficult to traverse indie tightrope of good intentions that is soulful low-fi pop and sees the band off on the best forward for their upcoming album.
MØ, who you may remember from her equally excellent “Pilgrim” single from last year, returns with the world music-influenced Santigold-esque “Glass”. For the track, complex labyrinthine rhythmic structures & hyperkinetic guitar melodies support MØ’s syrupy sweet alto. We are into it.
