PALMS [new Chino Moreno side project]

[DeftonesNZ]

First impressions, I like the song alot, sounds like a bit more of the Isis influence got into this one than the others also Chino vocals seem to compliment the instrumentals more consistently in this song unlike the other songs where he sometimes sounded like he was on his own tangent , Mix sounds a bit weird though Chino sounds too quiet. Probably just the quality of the upload, but I hope the albums final mixing is alot better than what we've heard, these songs deserve to be heard properly, with all the different parts in these types of atmospheric songs the mix has to be pretty perfect for the song to sound right,I hope they take the time to get it right even if that means they outsource the mixing duties to someone who really knows what they're doing.

I would count on it sounding any better when it comes out.  It's 2013. The times of Shitty quality uploads are long gone.  The mix is what it is.

PALMS: self-titled album trailer

[nicklav]

Album sampler sounds incredible.

[lftpp]

i like Future Warrior a lot!!! i wanted that shirt, but for 25 bucks + shipping to europe, is obscene...

[scarywindow]

good God... this band is amazing.  thanks for posting that trailer.

[Inkblades]

Love the opening on Future Warrior. That riff, those drums, that synth. Need some time to digest the rest of the song, though. I haven't been playing the songs that much so I get the best possible experience when I hear the album in its entirety.

The album trailer sounds good, too. His voice sounds clearer (for lack of a better word) on most of the songs on it.

[bewareofrats]

That sampler sounds sweet!  Now I am really wanting this.  And the quality does sound better.  Thanks for the find.

i ordered the red vinyl.... debating if i should get a second copy

[bewareofrats]

This could turn out to be one of the best escapism albums I've heard.

The trailer audio quality on YT quite frankly sounded much better to me than the copy of Future Warrior we got.  I see this song potentially being quite great if it has the sound quality of that trailer.  I hope this isn't exactly how it will sound on the album.  Thanks a lot though for whoever got that!

[Jerry_Curls]

Sounds like summer...I want this before going to Cancun so I can listen to it on the beach!

[bewareofrats]

Doesn't anyone else find the production in the busier parts of Future Warrior to sound pretty bad and messy on this copy?  And this is a part where I'd like Chino more prominent in the mix and he's kind of buried.  It's something that could kind of ruin a potentially very good song.

[DeftonesNZ]

Yeah but at the moment I'm putting it down to it being ripped from a low quality on demand radio stream.

[bewareofrats]

Yeah it probably is the case because I find the itunes version of Tropics we got to sound fine.
