Don't spread the word.

It's really not that hard to play, just lots of feel and remembering simple patterns. To be fair, it took me like 2 months to learn all the rythyms and parts on Rock Island. But once you sort of get the vision of the band it's easier to figure stuff out.

guy shreds the guitar

Yeah slackerVK!

Haha I was going to say that too

Hey that guy’s channel is awesome and he’s good at guitar

Darrien Day you post on bands I like so often that I recognize your profile picture instantly lmao

haha That means we've both got the same awesome taste in music, friend !!

On a bad trip you would hate it to have a loop of one of palms chords. Im just sayin, it was freaky.

Eve is God

I thought my brain was broke for a minute baha

they play like Ludus used to, changing tempo was part of that whole thing

Theresa Dawson yeah! i can definitely hear the ties with ludus now that you said that, I meant how they slowed down this version from their studio version though haha

I don't even understand how a band comes to this decision either. I've played music with plenty of people personally and the idea of playing a song a .75x speed has never came up. They really do sit and wonder what is possible with their method of expression, this is the whole reason why bands like Palm create a space in my heart, they go where other bands don't

Zak Mullard that's actually a really apt comparison

especially that part towards the end of Composite. instantly reminds me of Paper Hats by This Heat. give it a listen. love their homage to it

I get Women + Animal Collective + This Heat. Maybe a sprinkle of Tera Melos just because.

yeehaw

no love for Swirlies?

cool to see this because that's how I've always tried to describe them and nobody seems to know wth I'm talking about

That's how I feel man, like mathy animal collective

Caught them at Hopscotch and was blown away-instantly looked up their music to find out they are disbanding… ;(

@@howcliche I know what a shame, I hope to see other bands follow in this style and approach to heavy/complex music.

@@rallokkcaz I got pointed towards the band Women from this comment section and I would definitely recommend them, although they too split up. A few members went on to form Preoccupations and the lead singer has a solo project now under the name Cindy Lee.

Same

Egg in A Frame is a very super close second best track. But yes I agree.

i like Dog Milk more but Composite is really good as well

Horse Jumper of Love do the same thing. Pretty fun to hear Palm play their songs faster, too! I think their audiotree version of composite is slightly faster than the album version, though I could be misremembering

Yea...wow, its got such a massive sound to it with those staccato strums. Love it :D

I come back here for Composite at least once a day!

Check out this heat unless you already have. They influenced women big time. I can also hear animal collectives influence in palms music.

TheOtherSun and the drummer

Gerry is God

great description. I would add that some weird sauce or gravy dripped on the tape deck, causing this weird sound.

14:32 This tiny bit of guitar here is somewhere in 'Gates Of Delrium' at some point.

Perfect description

lmao. good one

also: This Heat

i didn't believe that until the second song, i like their vibe

KASRA DONT FORGET IT

Was washing dishes & listening to Trading Basics last nite, thinking male vox sounds like a combination between Avey's vox and Panda's vox. Some Avey yelps and some Panda articulation.

damn

Bro dat shit mathy

The only similar thing I can think of is on the tour for their album The Ark Work the frontman for Liturgy used a MIDI pickup to play fanfare type horn sounds with his guitar but yeah like in general it's a weirdly rare thing I wish more folks would try out.

I think it's mathy, and I don't really consider 'math rock' to be a bad thing like how everyone else on the internet does.

No you're not

Gyda Aulia I hear Animal Collective

cool i'm not the only one !

QuebecClassicRock only one to hear what?

Yeah, Beach Boys with mustard or something like that. :)

@@thomasberry8012he Ça me dit rien pourquoi. Peut-être j'espère, ça serait bon qui?

midi pickup

wth

and a wonderfull smile for the guitarist

Jay F I like your profile picture

Palm pleases the people, yea

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic BTW, I love math rock.

this isnt math rock

This IS Math Rock

even they dont consider it math rock
