ARCHITECTURE
A change in sound
After 4 years in Nashville, and all of the home recordings from that time released on Greenland, it was time for a new direction. 80s new wave / alternative and 90s shoegaze / dreampop was the music I heard when i first started to get into music and, burned out with the Americana and folk ubiquitous in Nashville, i thought it might be fun to start referencing the music of my youth. It was also time to start performing live again, so the Palm Ghosts of today was born. This record put the band on the map in the UK and Europe.
"‘If you remember the 80s you were there. If you don’t remember the 80s, fear not, the ‘archi-TECH-ture’ can and will give you memories wholesale.‘ No, not a Philip K. Dick aphorism, but, certainly a critique on the once decried decade that just won’t die.
The commodified and codified 80s © are here to stay, from the fake consciousness pop culture nostalgia that dominates the virtual shopping aisles to recreated and reimagined movie memories that manipulate and skew the present. Saddled with the past, culture’s inertia offers up facsimile pap and zerox rock. However, hope exists, listen as true light continues to glisten, appearing through the cracks and haunting the NOW are Nashville’s Palm Ghosts." - Music News UK
