| About Palindromes | Palindromes is Jordan De Pasquale and Joel Mechielsen from Brisbane, Australia. What started as a bedroom project in late 2011, quickly turned into a live collaboration. The songs have been created from a number of genres and influences such as lo-fi, chill-wave, pop, alternative rock and even hip hop. With their debut single 'Come Over' being released the boys continue writing, aiming for a debut release and national tour next year. Palindromes have supported the likes of: Zola Jesus, Snakadaktal, SURES, Pluto Jonze, Flume, Rufus and The Art of Sleeping. Faster Louder Hi-Fi Review - Snakadaktal “The four piece play out a solid 30 minutes of mature and well-crafted synth-pop full of spacey keyboards and lush vocals that draw the crowds attention early. Definitely set a certain quality to the evening’s style”. Rave Magazine Review – Zola Jesus Show The combination of guitars, bass and drums along with synth arrangements make for a set that gradually builds in intensity, the music actually rising in euphoric spirit as the room begins to fill. One tune sounds like a hybrid of M83’s Kim And Jessie and Flock Of Seagulls’ Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You). Emotive and quite stirring DIY synth pop is the dominant tone of their excellent set. The Art of Sleeping/ Yale review @ Black Bear Lodge: Palindromes burst out with a big sound for a small ensemble. The band showed off echo affected vocals and programmed beats at the lead singer and drummer's finger tips to form a Moby-like quality. |
