Today Prom Sawyer has yet another
Polyvinyl Records outfit.
Painted Palms is the brainchild of cousins Reese Donahue and and Christopher Prudhomme, Louisiana natives transplanted to the Bay Area. Their synthy, flowing-water sound initially found a home on
Secretly Canadian - the label, ever-humble, offers fantastic
biographies of their alumni and continues to rep their squad.
Donahue and Prudhomme made noise back in 2011 with their EP
Canopy. I've tossed in it's flagship track "All of Us" for ease of access below. "Click," off their upcoming
Carousel ,reminds me so of the best of Starfucker (Painted Palms even
remixed "Julius"). There's a lushness here, though, that distinguishes the two. I might perhaps suggest Bayou : Olympic Rainforest as the appropriate analogy.
Be sure to check out the new
album next week and the lengthy
tour that will accompany its release.
