While the world has not changed much since then, Palm Ghosts&#8217; new album\u00a0\u2018The Lost Frequency\u2019\u00a0is different. It is an album lost to the pandemic (literally it was supposed to be released last year). It hearkens back to before this life in stasis, back to when things were almost normal, which is what we are all clamoring for again &#8211; normalcy\u2026a sense of calm after a year lost. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sound of an 80s prom in a war zone\u2026located in the dead heart of country music, Nashville, TN. That is the sound and spirit of Palm Ghosts, as far from the honky-tonks and pedal taverns of their adopted city as one can \u00a0get. More at home in rainy Manchester or blustery Berlin, the quartet weaves \u00a0early cinematic dream pop and new wave with brooding post punk. Embracing their 80\u2019s idols, like\u00a0New Order, The Cure, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, and even<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Divine\u00a0to name a few, these Nashville transplants released 2018\u2019s\u00a0\u2018Architecture\u2019.\u00a0Since then, they have built upon that release with a \u00a0steady stream of songs invigorating the modern era with the 80\u2019s youth ethos. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that sense, the music of\u00a0\u2018The\u00a0Lost Frequency\u2019\u00a0feels almost whimsical and celebratory, at least less antagonistic and snarky than\u00a0\u2018Lifeboat Candidate\u2019\u00a0felt, but it certainly is nostalgic and less like a war, more like a prom. However, the lyrics still bring confrontation to the forefront, and remind us \u00a0that normalcy is still devastating.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album opener on \u2018The Lost Frequency\u2019, <em>Bloodlight<\/em>, imagines global warming as a \u00a0crime scene. Then, <em>Young Empire<\/em> spryly scolds American culture as a stubborn, petulant child before jumping back to global destruction themes in\u00a0<em>The Painful Truth.\u00a0<\/em>These songs could be a trilogy, as if the world were a \u00a0disco ball smashing to the ground over which dancers continue to tread, oblivious to the cutting shards. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this stasis, this waiting around and growing impatience, means the band has a huge backlog of new music to unleash, and if you still need convincing that you don\u2019t need to be a prom wallflower and can get on the dance floor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net\/20211111\/0a\/a4\/54\/73\/036b8f9c29288277f15faf4f_600x600.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Palm Ghosts \u2018Lost Frequency\u2019 cover artwork\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018The Lost Frequency\u2019 tracklist\u00a0<br><\/strong><br>1.
