2013 album from Deftones vocalist Chino Moreno and three former members of Isis (Jeff Caxide, Aaron Harris and Clifford Meyer). Palms' self-titled debut is wrought with dark anthems and intense textures, shoring cinematic, introspective interludes with tidal waves of distortion. The emotional affect of Palms' album is distinct: it moves and is moving; a perpetually forward-lunging exploration of moments both epic and intimate as all-enveloping loudness bleeds into piercing near-silence. It's an evocative aesthetic that could score the soundtrack to dystopian films, or scorched-earth world of post-Apocalyptic novels, that resilient spring that follows a Nuclear Winter. These are songs with a sense of urgency, the inertia of breaking apart, and the energy of building it all again.
