Palms, the Los Angeles-based band featuring members of ISIS and Deftones, have posted an album trailer (http://youtu.be/460RXD9wYAc) featuring music from their forthcoming, self-titled debut (June 25, Ipecac Recordings).

A variety of pre-order bundles have also been made available including limited edition vinyl (5 colors are available in 200 piece editions), t-shirts and posters.  The packages can be found via http://www.bluecollardistro.com/categories.php?cPath=1657.  A digital pre-order from iTunes gives users immediate access to the song “Tropics” (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/palms/id644888681).

“Patagonia,” a song from the upcoming album, is streaming via Pitchfork (http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/15371-palms-patagonia/).

The band have also announced their first tour dates: a four-date west coast run this July with stops in San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles and San Francisco:

July 10     San Diego, CA     Belly Up Tavern

July 11     Santa Ana CA     The Observatory

July 12     Los Angeles, CA     The Troubadour     SOLD OUT

July 13     San Francisco, CA     Slim’s

Palms came together following the demise of ISIS, with Jeff Caxide (bass), Aaron Harris, (drums) and Clifford Meyer (keyboards/guitar) electing to continue playing music together.  “After a little time Jeff, Cliff, and I decided that it was insane that we all still lived here in Los Angeles and weren’t playing together,” Harris says. “It just sort of happened naturally, probably because we have been playing together for so long, and things started to come together. But we didn’t want to be instrumental: We wanted vocals. We just weren’t exactly sure who that would be at first.”  The band, knowing that Chino Moreno (Deftones) had been a fan of ISIS, thought he would be a great fit and he agreed.  “A chance to work with the guys from ISIS sounded like a lot of fun,” Moreno says, “I’ve always been into the atmospheric sounds they had created with that project and felt my sense of melody would meld well with theirs.”
