Soft Palms

Description

Soft Palms bring their hazy psych-pop and dreampop sound to V11 for a September night with a distinctly vintage glow. The Long Beach duo consists of Julia Kugel, known from indie rock and riot grrrl band The Coathangers, and Scott Montoya, formerly of garage rock band The Growlers.

Together, they create dreamy, slightly sun-faded songs that sit somewhere between garage pop, 1960s psych and soft-edged experimental pop. Soft Palms keep the process close to home too, recording, mixing and mastering their music themselves in their own home studio. In Rotterdam, they arrive with upcoming album IN ECHO.

Fans of L.A. Witch, La Luz and Hunx and His Punx should feel right at home at V11. For a first listen, try Pretty Dancer or Nervous As Hell.
