Palm Haze - Tangy Dream (2017) EN

Sound that is both heavy and smooth from Vancouver - this is Anna Wagner and Lucas Inacio or Palm Haze. They play surf rockish songs coupled with airy shoegaze and trip-hop, can't say for sure if their music is more catchy or dreamy. They released a long EP or short LP this September, the first release of the band.

What is "Tangible Dream" about? Let's ask the artists themselves: "you know that feeling when you’re outside (briefly) and it’s warm, but just warm enough. Your skin is being lightly kissed by the sun and you're almost falling asleep. You remember your past, but you're still on the present, daydreaming of a nostalgic and tangible future. Feels tangible, feels tangy, feels dreamy".

The album starts with loud and sunny dreampop that can be hummed but also may make you feel falling into this sleepy trance until some fragments bring you back to reality, as in "It Follows" the ending of which suddenly starts galloping. And later on, "Beautiful Island" is an interesting play between noisy shoegaze and trip-hop pace and the further you go in the album, the more trip-hop it gets (see: "Cloudscraper")! Intriguing, no doubt.

"Tangy Dream" costs 5 USD.
