The last few singles from UK Americana band Palomino Kings have been big upbeat country tinged rock n roll numbers. However, new release "Long Way Down" sees the band take a reflective breath and return to the feel of their more intimate acoustic led performances, which will certainly pull at your heartstrings.

"Long Way Down" is both confessional and brutally honest. Gavin Bowern plays with your emotions throughout and brings you just under three minutes of the nicest warm alt-country sounds you're likely to hear in 2021. 

A beautiful and considerate performance from the band provides groove but also space, counter melodies and atmosphere whilst never overplaying. Brushes from the drums lock in with the bass and acoustic guitar throughout, whilst shimmering slide guitar and piano sing behind the wonderful vocals.

Pour yourself a glass, sit back and press play.

Long Way Down

Palomino Kings release double A side single "Just Can't Figure It Out / Come Down" in lead up to their Maverick Festival performance. 

Recorded during the same session last year, these tracks build upon Palomino Kings classic Americana roots with vintage synths to add a nostalgic 80s feel. The result is not a hundred miles away from that Tom Petty sound we all love, or more recent War On Drugs records, but is still distinctly Palomino Kings. 

Whilst the music is upbeat and energetic, the lyrics are deep and meaningful. A glorious juxtaposition - Plenty of soul & groove, soundscapes to get lost in and guitar tones to die for.

Come Down

Just Can't Figure It Out

You Won The War musically is a tornado of energy, bringing with it a fiery tale of communication breakdowns, forgotten dreams, fractured lives, confrontation and not having the words...

You Won The War

Released worldwide via Northview Records on June 21st 2019.

A stones-esque romp with singalong anthem of a chorus. 
You Got Me Running is about realising the situation you're in, not knowing yourself or what you’ve become, trying to take control and be the person you want to be.  An upbeat and uplifting rock n roll song as there is light at the end of a tunnel "The dark days are through!"

You Got Me Running (Radio Edit)

The latest single from Palomino Kings is quite a sonic journey in under four and a half minutes. Each verse harks back to Daniel Lanois working with Dylan or Springsteen at his most dark and brooding, building in to an exciting crescendo of raw guitars. 

Emotive, atmospheric and rocking.

Living in the Dark

The Boathouse is a beautiful location to record, we've worked with Ads a number of times for studio recordings and we wanted to shoot a video session to try and capture the special energy and feeling from playing in a room together.

​There's a certain magic that happens when playing live, when everything feels right and everyone is connected to one another in their own way. Coupling this with a scenic setting, the winter sun gleaming through wall to wall glass and a great tune has allowed us to present Palomino Kings in the way we wanted. No overdubs, no trickery, just the band doing our thing.

Any Time At All

If You Want Me, Like I Want You

Palomino Kings release their final single of the year on 23rd December worldwide via Northview Records.  

"Fall Into Your Loving Arms" brings 2020 to a close after a string of great singles from the band. A rush of psychedelic country hooks, rock n soul choruses and an eye-watering fuzzy guitar solo. 

If you like upbeat anthems about togetherness and the sound of guitar amps pushed to the brink then you're in luck!

Singer Gavin Bowern tells us "The verses talk of helping out, togetherness and understanding. And with the world as it has been recently being in those ‘arms’ has never felt so good. Like with all good things though, there has to be a harder, tougher side to fight through. It can be a struggle, but that dust has to be brushed off, you’ve gotta get back on those feet and ultimately it's all worth it!"

The artwork features a photograph taken at the last gig Palomino Kings played pre-pandemic, which is apt as "Fall Into Your Loving Arms" will most definitely feature fully in the 2021 live sets! Roll on next year!
