Lancaster-based trio Night Palms show enormous promise, with a timeless sort of sound inspired by the likes of Jeff Buckley, Neil Young, and Nick Cave. In a contemporary sense, they bring to mind Timber Timbre, who ride similarly on a chugging western-y twang over powerful vocals while remaining entrenched in suave rock. Formed in May 2015, the trio just released a new track in “Clinch Mountain Part II”, a crisp success featuring a psych-friendly fluttering chorus after the confident vibrancy of melodically twangy verses. This is a good one for sure.
