"Palm Ghosts is a heat-seeking missile for fans of early alternative" -SPIN Magazine

“Elegant and Sweeping Pop” - The Key, WXPN, Philadelphia

“A stirring mix of folk writing with electronica-tinged production…Electronically magnetic and emotionally heartfelt.” - ATWOOD Magazine

“The commodified and codified 80’s are here to stay, from the fake consciousness pop culture nostalgia that dominates the virtual shopping aisles to recreated and reimagined movie memories that manipulate and skew the present. Saddled with the past, culture’s inertia offers up facsimile pap and xerox rock. However, hope exists, listen as true light continues to glisten, appearing through the cracks and haunting the NOW are Nashville’s Palm Ghosts.” -MUSIC NEWS UK

“Made in the USA during the 2020 quarantine Lifeboat Candidate has antecedents in Peter Gabriel’s third 1980 solo album, The Cure’s Three Imaginary Boys and the early I Will Follow/11 O’clock Tick Tock-era U2 but filtered through a modern American sensibility to reflect on the worries and horrors of the modern world.” - WE ARE CULT

“Blind is a gorgeous, tribal-infused track with equal hints of Peter Gabriel, The Teardrop Explodes, and Gang of Four.” - POST PUNK.COM

“Achingly beautiful, fragile and majestic music. An intoxicating mix of Shoegaze and Dream pop, taking from the 80’s but not in debt to it.” - ANALOGUE TRASH
