London-based group Palace release their third album Shoals. Throughout this album-length meditation on fear, Palace weave together gorgeous guitar lines, forthright expressions of anxious uncertainty, and a masterful sense of space to create a record that pulses with beauty and reckoning. From the stillness comes tidal waves of sound; from cacophony emerges clarity; and following reflection, a sense of peace ultimately coexists with a surrender to spontaneity. At times it recalls Jeff Buckley’s stately ballads, at others the propulsive shoegaze of DIIV or the mountainous crescendos of WU LYF — but throughout it becomes clear that Palace have an unparalleled intuition for how to bolster a song’s intensity and deliver an emotional gutpunch.
