Palma Violets have released the festive single ‘Last Christmas On Planet Earth‘.
The track is out now through Rough Trade on limited edition 7″ and digital download formats, backed by the b-side ‘All The Garden Birds‘ which is sung by the Rhythm Studio Kids Choir.
Palma Violets released their second album ‘Danger In The Club‘ earlier this year, described as ‘bristling with wit and urgency’ in our review.
“‘The Jacket Song‘ is a wonderful shamble along the tiles, reminiscent of Spacehog’s ‘To Be a Millionaire…Was it Likely‘ or even Loudon Wainwright III’s hilarious ‘Dead Skunk‘, with their simple shuffles which capture the simplest of joys. And it is the Spacehog comparison that rings the most bells here – not since their 1995 debut ‘Resident Alien‘ has a band sounded so much like it was simply having fun recording music.”
“Sometimes it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey and expressing what that taught you, and Palma Violets have learned to be truly comfortable in their sound.”
