Following the resounding success of Shoals, Palace continues to push the boundaries of their musical prowess. With their latest offering, they present a sonic exploration of the human experience, delving into the complexities of relationships and the transformative power of life’s pivotal moments.
The EP’s title track, ‘When Everything Was Lost,’ serves as a powerful introduction to the EP. Enigmatic frontman Leo Wyndham’s tender vocals, and heartfelt lyrics, that fearlessly delve into the complexities of the human experience, paired with Palace’s signature warmly melodic yet melancholic sound is enhanced by the addition of rich, deep strings, expanding the band’s sonic palette.
Wyndham shares that the EP centers around the experience of growing older with someone and navigating unexpected challenges along the way. “The EP is about the journey of growing older with someone, and trying to move and mould to the things along the way that you don’t ever imagine or plan,
The things that floor you, but will eventually bind you together. Intertwined. Inseparable.
Wyndham further elaborates on the inspiration behind ‘When Everything Was Lost,’ describing it as an ode to the strength and power of female energy.
“’When Everything Was Lost’ is about the immense strength and power of female energy and feeling a profound and overwhelming sense of awe in that. It’s about looking at someone you love from a distance going through something hugely significant, and seeing them handle it in a way a man never could.”
The song beautifully captures the overwhelming sense of awe one can feel when witnessing someone they love handle a significant life event with grace and resilience. It’s a testament to the bond that can be forged through shared experiences and the profound impact it can have on a relationship.
