Death Palmz: “IL2H2LU”

By: Taylor Wallace

I’ve heard your week’s woes, I know it’s been one, so Aunt Tay is here to deliver a little Friday elixir to shift you into weekend mode as you get ready to burn rubber in the parking garage.

Austin’s Death Palmz is another project from Exotic Frutica, and if you’re familiar with the punk band, know you’re in for three things: volume, energy, and moshing. French subverts some of that energy into Death Palmz, a dark, synth wave project specifically reminiscent of two of the genre’s stalwarts: Nine Inch Nails and Suicide. Oh yeah, you’re really excited now.

“I Love 2 Hate 2 Love You” is the precise antidote to a week of the rat race by diverting that festered frustration into a dopamine deluge of energy. Will it make you feel like you’re in one of those movies that simultaneously takes place in a dirty, smoky 80s goth clubs and be 100 years in the future? Yes, so buckle in.

“IL2H2LU” is on the Death Palmz EP, out today on Mr. Pink Records. You can see Death Palmz at their very first live show tonight at Chess Club with Holy Wire, Gleaming, and Past Model.

And there’s something about the energy of […]

Born and raised in Austin and now based in L.A. (after a stint in Brooklyn), Eyelid Kid is back with more of that smooth, bedroom pop bop action.
