Alongside today's tour announce, Palace share "All We've Ever Wanted," their first new music since their acclaimed 2022 album Shoals."'All We've Ever Wanted' is about dreams and desires." explains singer Leo Wyndham about the track that straddles the anthemic, lighters-aloft sentiment of Britpop's finest and an artfully applied sheen of shoegaze noise. "It's about wondering if things ever can come to pass exactly as we've pictured them in our mind's eye, and confronting the reality that things often don't move in a predictable straight line. In the end, new growth seems to occur from the soil of the unexpected." "All We've Ever Wanted" is taken from a new EP due for release this spring — further details to follow.tour to date, with 18 shows in 1000+ capacity rooms across the US and Canada, including nights at Brooklyn Steel, DC's 9:30 Club, The Wiltern in Los Angeles and over a dozen more.

2022's Shoals is a profound and pensive album, boldly exploring some of life's greatest questions over its 12 mesmerising tracks. The album deftly explores the interplay of three central existential dilemmas against a broader backdrop of wonder at the vastness and power of the ocean, concluding its arc with the stunning opus "Where Sky Becomes Sea." Through diving into themes of the subconscious, dreams and existentialism, Shoals'is broadly a record about living with and processing fear.
Leo Wyndham, Matt Hodges and Rupert Turner released their acclaimed debut EP Lost In The Night in 2014, followed by the Chase The Light EP the following year, their debut album So Long Forever in 2016 and sophomore album Life After in 2019.
