Palace have announced a run of November dates to coincide with the release of their highly anticipated debut album So Long Forever (out 4 November).
Speaking about the album, the band says, “Our album is a great summary of where Palace are as a band. It’s a culmination of very early songs and new ones. We wanted an album that takes you on a journey through different emotions and ups and downs. It’s our distinctive blues sound mixed with atmosphere and epic reverb. One of the things the album deals with is loss and how we deal with those difficult situations. Whether we fall apart or it makes us stronger.”
So Long Forever has been produced by Adam Jaffery (Beach Baby, Dev Hynes, Francis Lung) and mixed by Cenzo Townshend (The Maccabees, Florence + the Machine, Wild Beasts).
In late 2014 Palace released their critically acclaimed debut EP Lost in the Night. 2015 saw them embark on two UK and European tours that book-ended the release of their second EP Chase The Light, which received continued support from Radio 1’s Huw Stephens and Annie Mac, 6Music’s Steve Lamacq and Radio X’s Georgie Rogers, Maz Tappuni, John Kennedy and Jo Good. They spent last summer in a whirlwind of festival performances including Live at Leeds, The Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City, Blissfields, Kendall Calling, Greenman and Bestival, to name just a few.
This summer Palace will be playing Bushtock, Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds Festivals, with more to be announced
