The Village Voice: Sydney Eloise and the Palms talk back to Simon & Garfunkel with thier song “Loneliest Boy In NY”

Sydney Eloise and the Palms Atlanta faces indie rock BABY robot media

Sydney Eloise and the Palms certainly didn’t rush things when it came to their forthcoming debut, Faces. The Atlanta-based band built the album piece by piece, heading into co-producer Damon Moon’s studio, the Cottage, with outlines of songs and adding instrumentals and tweaking things until they sounded right. They didn’t even start out looking to record an album, but as the collection of work began to take shape, songs that Eloise had been writing over a four-year period began to feel cohesive, and Faces was born.

The latest track revealed by Eloise and the Palms is “Loneliest Boy in NY,” one of the more complex songs on the record. The number is a response to the Simon & Garfunkel classic “The Only Living Boy in New York,” which Moon had included on a mix for Eloise in the midst of an inspirational dry spell. LISTEN HERE…

This week, our Musical Road Trip series heads to Route 101 to explore the origins of surf rock and the California sound.

In the early 1960s, America was infected by the California sound. Upbeat acts like Dick Dale and His Del-Tones and the Beach Boys topped the charts while new lightweight shortboards dotted the tides. The 2010s have revived surf rock and the California sound, thanks to the help and success of bands like Best Coast, Dum Dum Girls and Wavves.

Starting in Los Angeles, you’ll follow Route 101 north through San Francisco and surf communities like Ventura and Santa Barbara. Along the way, you’ll brave perfect waves and discover dreamy new music.

Flip through the gallery above to see our picks for a surf rock road trip up Route 101. READ HERE…

Vents Magazine premieres Sydney Eloise & The Palms’ new slow-building piano ballad “Out of My Hands”

VENTS is excited to join forces with Sydney Eloise and the Palm for the release of their haunting and emotional track “Out of my Hands” off their forthcoming debut LP, Faces, out Sept. 22 from The Cottage Recording Co.

“Out of My Hands” is a slow-building piano tune that starts spare and works its way to Phil Spector-style Wall of Sound layering—add in some subtle George Harrison-indebted slide guitar, Sydney Eloise’s bittersweet-expressive vocals, her thoughtful, honest songwriting and a reverb-drenched modern sheen, and you end up with a ballad on par with Jenny Lewis’ best.

From the opening “Be My Baby”-style drumbeat and retro-modern psychedelic swirls of lead track “Always Sailing,” Sydney Eloise & the Palms’ new debut Faces is searching and bittersweet, a classic-pop meditation from the visionary twentysomething next door. A vivid sonic slide-show carousel of a record, its mix of words and music paint tiny, episodic masterpieces in technicolor. LISTEN HERE…

PureVolume premieres Sydney Eloise & The Palms song “Comes To An End”

Sydney Eloise and the Palms Atlanta faces indie rock BABY robot media

Sydney Eloise & The Palms yearn for the golden age of pop—the ’60s and ’70s when Phil Spector reigned king—and they’re doing their best to put a modern spin on it. Mixing that with current influences like Rilo Kiley and up-and-coming indie darling Natalie Prass, Sydney’s debut album Faces is filled with lush instrumentation and whimsical vocal harmonies led by her sultry voice. Today we’re excited to premiere her latest single, “Comes to an End.” Stream the soulful song above and read Sydney’s track commentary below.

“It’s no secret that classic-pop plays a big role on the whole Faces record, but it’s especially evident on ‘Comes to and End.’ Back in the golden era of pop, no one wanted to listen to a sad song, but they were everywhere. Listen to any Beach Boys song—Brian Wilson and the rest of the band knew how to package a heartbreaker over a groovin’ backbeat. Like a lot of songs on my record, “Comes to an End” started simple and a little more melancholy, partially due to the subject matter. This was the first of three songs myself and [producer/engineers] Damon Moon and Chandler Galloway were all collaborating on, and once we were all in the room working it out together, our shared love of McCartney, The Everly Brothers and even classic country all came together and, in a way, it laid the foundation for what would eventually become Faces.” LISTEN HERE…

Absolutely glowing PopMatters writeup of Sydney Eloise & The Palms’ new song “Tell Me What I Want to Hear”

Sydney Eloise and the Palms Atlanta faces indie rock

When it comes to the RIYL (“recommended if you like”) sections of press releases, you take such publicist hyperbole with a grain of salt. So Atlanta native Sydney Eloise is geared towards fans of Natalie Prass, Neko Case, Rilo Kiley, Fleetwood Mac, and Phil Spector, huh? Thing is, when you hear her new track “Tell Me What I Want to Hear”, from Sydney Eloise and the Palms’ debut album Faces, every single one of those boxes gets checked. Timeless and contemporary, it’s a gorgeous, extraordinarily simple track that utilizes a classic pop formula to perfection, making it sound fresh and vibrant. It deserves to be heard, and we are elated to premiere it here at PopMatters.

“When we recorded ‘Tell Me What I Want to Hear’, it really made us feel like the whole thing was starting to take shape,” she says. “It was one of the first songs we worked on that used multiple drum sets, and we kind of just decided that recording the way it’s done live was an idea we were throwing out the window. The studio itself [co-producer Damon Moon’s The Cottage] definitely played a role, from the super late nights we were afforded, to the privacy the hidden-away property gave us. It was easy to forget about jobs, and deadlines. We were able to get lost in the process, and we said yes to trying every idea. Of course, not every idea ended up in the song’s final form, but we ruled things out, which ended up being a huge part of our process as a band. LISTEN HERE…
