Overview
’Shoals’ is an album that dives deep into emotion and the passage of time. Palace have created a dreamy, atmospheric soundscape that blends Indie Rock into an almost distinct genre, utilising reverb-laden guitars and haunting vocals - this signature blend of melancholy and beauty is ever-present, creating an immersive and emotional sonic journey. This is truly an album that helps listeners self-reflect with its rich textures and raw emotional edge. This could be Palace’s best effort yet in an already fantastic catalog of deep tunes.
Recommended for all the emotional folk out there needing some time for self-reflection.

This serene cover perfectly captures the musical energy of the album. A pastel-styled coral reef with a lovely colour palette matches the relaxing themes of each song - you can imagine the fish on the cover slowly moving to the rhythm of the calming tunes.
