Palm Ghosts are the house band for the apocalypse—stitching shadowy guitars, cinematic pop, and indie grit into widescreen soundtracks for a world on fire.
Born in Philadelphia in 2014 and raised in Nashville, they inhabit not the city of bachelorette parties and crowded honky-tonks, but the other Nashville—the one in the shadows, lit by flickering neon, ringing with busted amps, and haunted by a million broken dreams.
They channel the menace of post punk, the soaring romance of shoe gaze and dream pop, and the restless urgency of bands who know the clock is ticking.
In an era when musicians are forced to be perpetual content providers, Palm Ghosts remain gloriously out of step—crafting songs that are razor-sharp yet haunted, equal parts love letter and last rites. They sound like the final broadcast from a pirate radio station at the end of the world.
Spin Magazine says Palm Ghosts is "A Heat Seeking Missle for Early Alternative Rock Fans"
Manchester’s Analogue Trash describes Palm Ghosts as “Achingly beautiful, fragile and majestic music. An intoxicating mix of Shoegaze and Dream pop, taking from the 80’s but not in debt to it”
South Africa’s Jangle Pop Hub has said the band has “An inimitable 80’s style dream pop that mixes the avaricious swirl of The Cocteau Twins, the atmospherics of The Cure and the grandiosity of Echo and The Bunnymen”
