About this item

If you think you know what Palomar is all about, you're wrong: the Brooklyn band's new album "All Things, Forests" will shatter your expectations and stop you dead in your tracks. The charm and playfulness of the band's previous releases is still present, but the songwriting has rocketed from bright to stellar on this, their fourth album. Frontwoman Rachel Warren sings with a confidence heretofore unseen and the results are incredible, the songs shifting in that subtle yet defining change from clever to sublime. The careful arrangements and the depth of thought that have gone into the making of this record constitute a monumental leap forward for the band. "All Things, Forests" expresses the tangled feelings of loss, doubt, joy, wistfulness and the struggle to keep going. This band is clearly at the height of their powers in terms of musicianship, songwriting, and lyricism, and they've crafted a rock album of enduring quality. Prepare yourself for a record that will invite itself up for tea and biscuits, and have your clothes off by the second cup.
