Palace Cats are certainly ones to keep your eyes on for the duration of 2021.
“‘Honey’ features their most infectious choruses to date, whilst the song shows further development of the band’s compositional skills.”
Palace Cats is Joe Doris and James Bowden, two close friends with a genuine, shared love for vocal harmonies, psychedelic guitar pop, and orchestral instrumentation. The duo have been in and out of bands for a number of years, and following the hugely saddening death of their best friend and drummer, James Murgatroyd, they find themselves as a two-piece. Despite their loss, they still have as clear an artistic vision as ever, but now, the music is being used as a homage to their old best friend.
Their fourth single ‘Honey’ is entirely self-produced and is a modern tale of unrequited love, depicted through the honey-like sweetness of oscillating synthesizers, smooth guitars, and an 808 drum track. ‘Honey’ features their most infectious choruses to date, whilst the song shows further development of the band’s compositional skills. Palace Cats are certainly ones to keep your eyes on for the duration of 2021.
