CMU Approved
Approved: Sad Palace
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 28 November 2016
Sad Palace released their debut single, ‘Rainbow Melt’, through Kissability last month. And they’re wasting no time getting the second one out into the world. Hence ‘Breeze’ is here now too.
The band’s ambitious indie rock sound takes them into far more different directions than seven minutes and six seconds of publicly available music should allow. On ‘Breeze’, there’s a real ‘if you weren’t sure about that last section, how about we play something like this’ feel. What’s more impressive is that they hold it all together to create a cohesive pop single.
“The song is about knowing something is over before it begins”, say the band. “It leaves you in a strange place, I think we have a sixth sense about these things, in your heart of hearts you can feel when it’s not going to happen, but part of you wants to keep going out of curiosity, and maybe sympathy”.
You can catch Sad Palace supporting Childcare tonight at The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington. And you can listen to ‘Breeze’ here:
