More Info
For their sophomore effort / Drag City debut, the enigmatic duo expand into eight-armed wonder; all the better to reach ever-deeper into their bag of tricks. Slinky and sliding elegantly, the kids forge tunes with a harmony of ambiguity and nostalgia, effortless yet precise, and rounded with thick bottom - a dancing clash of cognition and dissonance.
Since 2015, Kamikaze Palm Tree have been a relative mystery. Now, in times no less mysterious, Drag City welcomes them to our tropical island destination, celebrating the energy of their second album, ‘MINT CHIPMINT CHIP’, where Kamikaze Palm Tree play their offbeat strain of 21st Century rock.
The songs: their imagined pictures - anything from faintly to innately ridiculous - are somehow intimate yet devoid of context (“none of the songs are about anything”). Ambiguity and nostalgia, hand in hand - for you, cognitive and dissonanced, humming along.
