“Dark Palms is a post-punk band from Olympia, WA that play the mostย aggressive music the genre has to offer. Their debut single “Ghost Horse” isย a bass heavy package of this. It starts off with a kick and then unloadsย into a full assault of heavy hitting jams. The band sounds like a faster andย heavier Christian Death or Spaceman 3. The band isn’t all about theย heaviness of the genre though, as the song employs a generous amount of fuzzย to the song. It’s exactly what you’d want out of a debut single from aย post-rock band; it shows a well-written post-punk song encapsulating allย your favorite parts of the genre, and then some.” — Noisey/Vice

“Oh, Dark Palms, where have you been all my life? Their new single, Ghostย Horse, is a post-punk, fuzzed-out trip into pure American noir… straightย out of weird America.” — PopShifter
“Dark Palms cast a long northwest shadow of trees and other forces of natureย governed by ghost animal instincts and thrashing dark cloaked chords thatย carry out distorted and deranged power chord hooks that serenade theย surrounding rural splendor.” — Impose Magazine
