Two years after their debut 180, Palma Violets have announced the May 5 release of its follow up Danger in The Club.
Danger In The Club was produced by John Leckie (Stone Roses, Radiohead, The Fall) and recorded at The Doghouse Studios in Wales. While it certainly trades on the primal and joyous hook-laden rock of their debut, Danger In The Club finds the band with a new sonic looseness, revealing far more expansive influences than the still-quite-young quartet had on their debut.
Speaking about the new album, bassist and singer Chilli Jesson explains:
“We wanted to make a young-sounding record. We listened to a lot of pre-punk while we were making the album. We like its rawness and simplicity. A lot of bands want to over-complicate their second album, we know that we didn’t.”
The official video for “Danger in the Club,” which was shot in one continuous take in the Lambeth group’s local pub The Pineapple and directed by legendary British photographer Roger Sargent is streaming below…
