Palace have announced they will release their new studio album Ultrasound in April 2024 featuring new single Bleach.
Ultrasound will mark the band’s fourth studio album and promises a deeply personal release.
The 13-track album finds Palace reuniting with producer Adam Jaffrey who worked on their debut album. The album comes off the back of Part I – When Everything Was Lost and Part II – Nightmares & Ice Cream, the band’s 2023 companion EPs.
While writing the first batch of songs for the album, frontman Leo Wyndham’s partner suffered a late miscarriage. Ultrasound naturally became an open diary of a year-long struggle from devastation to deliverance. “It was incredibly hard to comprehend what had happened, how to deal with it and how to move forward,” Leo says. “The album is the journey of that experience – starting with a loss, then a period of processing, and then finally acceptance, release and growth. And being in awe of women within that. Their dignity, strength and courage in how they can deal with these things that feel beyond a man.”
Palace will release Ultrasound on 5 April 2024.
