PALACE

A Whaling Boat, a Sorrowful CaptainAn Alt-Rock track whirling with character and emotion, not only satisfies but enthralls.To Grasp the alt-rock aesthetic isn't always easy, to find that halfway point between the waters of one genre and the fire of rock isn't an easy task, but Palace takes that whole challenge and slams it into the cargo hold of their alt-rock blues boat and aim for the distant horizon.It's a deluge of alt-rock guitars, running drums, and a floaty vocal performance that makes this track not only enjoyable, even within its sad, almost heartbroken theme, but also a diamond in the rough.
