PALM READER - Sleepless LP (Green/Black Galaxy Vinyl)

Label: Church Road

Sleepless’ marks yet another sonic evolution for the Nottingham-based quintet; every successive release, from 2013’s ‘Bad Weather’ to 2018’s critically acclaimed ‘Braille’, has shown progression, each album building upon the last without ever compromising the band’s ideals.

With the announcement of their fourth studio album ‘Sleepless’, Palm Reader capitalises and makes do on the promise of their previous material. The more seething barrages of metal found in their sound remain intact and their penchant for melody is more fine-tuned and purposeful, expounding on their inarguably growing appeal to fans old and new. Most importantly, however, the five-piece’s reputation finally stands unwavering in its own credibility as much as hard-earned mythology.

"Using the rough-hewn mathcore of years past as the foundation for a grander, more dramatically complex picture, shaded out with passages of swirling atmosphere and depthless ambience." - KERRANG!
