LISTEN UP: PAINTED PALMS / CANOPY.

The psychedelic, experimental, electro-pop, chillwave, influenced sounds you'll hear (once you cop the FREE downloads below) are courtesy of San Francisco's PAINTED PALMS, who released their CANOPY EP last month. What I love most about the combo of songs they included, is the diversity among them...no one track, sounds (too much) like another.

As soon as GREAT WHITE starts to creep in, you know it's going to be good. Slow wobbly bass, airy vocals, and psychedelic synth, merge together to produce a nostalgic sound reminiscent of many out-of-the-80's faves of mine. While, on the other end of the spectrum, ALL OF US had me jumping around my room and stomping my feet to it's energetic clap-along beat and echoey, overlapping vocals.

WHY THEY'RE UNIQUE: Painted Palms' Chris Prudhomme & Reese Donohue are related...cousins to be exact!

BOTTOM LINE: The CANOPY EP is a must-have. Get that ish nowww...
