Nashville’s genre-blurring atmosphere merchants deliver their seventh single of 2026 — and it’s their darkest yet.
“Palm Ghosts have long existed in that liminal space between nostalgia and motion, stitching together elements of dream pop, shoegaze, and indie rock into cinematic and immersive moments of reckoning, reflection, and reverie. Formed in Philadelphia in 2014 before eventually relocating to Nashville, the band have spent over a decade carving out a distinctive genre-blending sound that feels both haunted by the past and urgently tuned to the present – equal parts atmosphere and confrontation, melody and meaning.” — Mitch Mosk, Atwood Magazine
Indie rock outfit Palm Ghosts are back with Pure Hollywood — a fittingly seventh single for the seventh month of 2026, and proof the band’s well of atmospheric menace hasn’t run dry. The track hit streaming platforms on Friday, July 31.
Guitarist/vocalist Benjamin Douglas sums up the song’s twisted premise simply: “A serial killer revels in his acts as if they were merely scenes in a horror film.“
On Stage
Palm Ghosts kept the momentum going with a run of Wisconsin shows around the release, hitting Fox River House and Stone Arch Brewpub in Appleton, plus a stop at Chadwick’s Bar. Keep an eye on their socials for the next round of dates.
