Philadelphian experimental group Palm release 'Parable Lickers', the second single from their highly anticipated new album Nicks And Grazes. Following on from recent single 'Feathers', the new track is a rolling percussive sample-based jaunt, midi-guitar steel pans, clattering rhythms centred by fuzzed bass and spiralling vocal harmonies from Kasra and Eve. “‘Parable Lickers’ is the oldest one of the bunch,” explains drummer Hugo Stanley. “We were performing a version of this song live when we previously toured, but it didn’t finish itself until just before we went to the studio. It’s the only track on this record with MIDI guitar, which was kind of a hallmark of our previous album, Rock Island. The sample used is a recording of a drumline playing at the high school across the street from Eve and Kasra’s old house in Kensington, PA.” The new album is shaping up to be an innovative and boundary pushing affair, both singles showcasing Palm's dedication to experimentation and finding new and interesting ways to synergies their electronic and live musical tendencies. Nicks and Grazes, is out October 14th on their new label Saddle Creek. -Toby Evans-Jesra
