Fake Palms Share New Single/Video "Visions"


Toronto-based post punk/lo-fi/dream punk project Fake Palms (aka Michael le Riche) has shared the video for his ne single "Visions".

The song is taken from his forthcoming third studio album 'Lemons', which will be out on September 16th via Hand Drawn Dracula Records. Pre-order your copy here.

The arch jangle of “Visions” evokes Lee Ranaldo linking up with the bubblegum-savvy early Wire while finding le Riche tapping into some of his poppiest moments as a songwriter following his previous work as Fake Palms, as well as the soupy electronica of Sauna and art-rock of Darcys. The track erupts with slashing guitar and quickfire percussion which matches Michael's vocals toe for toe. Speaking about the track, he says: "Visions" is the sound of power chords and an overactive right arm. No more intricate, overly complex guitar parts or different time signatures. It’s Buzzcocks or the Dead Boys at its core, angular and jangly. "Musically, it's the most direct thing I've ever done. No hiding behind walls of reverb, mutating time signatures, or vague lyrics."
