Following on from their much-loved companion EPs ‘Part I - When Everything Was Lost’ and ‘Part II - Nightmares & Ice Cream’ last year, Palace have now announced their plans for a new studio album, arriving in the coming months.
The new full-length 'Ultrasound' is being previewed by the new lead single 'Bleach', and is set to be released on the 5th April.
While writing the first batch of songs for the album, frontman Leo Wyndham’s partner suffered a late miscarriage. Ultrasound naturally became an open diary of a year-long struggle from devastation to deliverance. “It was incredibly hard to comprehend what had happened, how to deal with it and how to move forward,” Leo says. “The album is the journey of that experience - starting with a loss, then a period of processing, and then finally acceptance, release and growth. And being in awe of women within that. Their dignity, strength and courage in how they can deal with these things that feel beyond a man.”
