Their new video for <strong><em>Paloma<\/em><\/strong>, fresh from their upcoming LP\u00a0\u2018Tell Me Secrets,\u2019 is a fuzz-drenched dream ride that sways between shoegaze nostalgia and raw, psychedelic garage rock grit. Basically, it sounds like what might happen if your favourite &#8217;90s alt bands got lost in a fever dream directed by David Lynch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shot with an otherworldly touch (props to Bob Sweeney behind the camera), <em>Paloma<\/em> feels like a memory you\u2019re not sure really happened. It&#8217;s soaked in gauzy textures, layered noise, and that delicious tension between beautiful and brutal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to vocalist\/guitarist Allie Lannutti, the song is a reflection on those quiet, compromising moments from youth\u2014when we swallowed our voices to keep the peace. \u201c<em>We\u2019re taught to be polite, to keep things comfortable for everyone else, even when it costs us our own peace,\u201d<\/em> she shares. <em>\u201c\u2018Paloma\u2019 is reminiscing with your younger self about all the things you let slide\u2026 where do you draw the line?

It follows 2022\u2019s debut LP\u00a0\u2018Numbra,\u2019 which earned them a rep for crafting \u201cpsychedelic wastelands\u201d\u2014equal parts dreamy and disorienting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the video for\u00a0<strong><em>Paloma<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0below\u2014and maybe scream into the void afterward.
