Wild Palms release a taster from their forthcoming debut album in the shape of a double AA sided 10” ‘To The Lighthouse’/ ‘Draw In Light’ on 1st November. The band have a very special single launch show at Electrowerks on Bonfire Night, 5th November – details to follow.

Produced by Gareth Jones (Grizzly Bear, Clinic, Depeche Mode), the double header makes good on the band’s promise at the start of the year to deliver the “warm, expansive” new sound described to NME at the start of the year and first suggested by transitional single ‘Deep Dive’.

Indeed, Wild Palms short history so far has been one of restless evolution set to culminate in the release of their debut album in March 2011 – by which time, as front man Lou Hill told Mojo in August, “We probably won’t be the same band. Once you think you’ve found your feet, you’re fucked.”
