Painted Palms

Playing shimmering pop-infused indie rock and roll up to date by vintage synth pop and contemporary electronica, Coated Palms may be the creation of Reese Donohue and Christopher Prudhomme, cousins whose tale shows how technology provides changed the guidelines in the ways performers can easily collaborate. Both Donohue and Prudhomme had been born and elevated in Lafayette, Louisiana; their own families had been close and because they was raised, the cousins spent the required time together hearing and discussing music. Years afterwards, Donohue shifted to California to wait university, while Prudhomme remained in Louisiana; both had been involved with musical tasks, and would send out each other examples of their function by email. In ’09 2009, Donohue was house for wintertime break, and he and Prudhomme had been getting up at a family group dinner. With time to move before mealtime, both began focusing on a tune on Prudhomme’s digital documenting setup; by the finish from the evening, both wrote and documented the track “DRIFTING OFF TO SLEEP,” plus they recognized their collaboration experienced potential. Donohue quickly returned to university, but he and Prudhomme continuing to interact from a range, passing documents of loops and melodies backwards and forwards on line. Ultimately, Donohue and Prudhomme finished a five track EP, plus they posted their function to a favorite music blog, phoning the EP Canopy and using the collaborative deal with Painted Hands. Canopy instantly received a keen response from music followers, including Kevin Barnes from Of Montreal, who place the duo touching the founded indie label Secretly Canadian. Secretly Canadian offered Canopy a physical launch in 2011, and Colored Palms required their music to the level, touring with Of Montreal, STRFKR, and Braids. As Painted Hands became greater than a sideline for Donohue and Prudhomme, the second option relocated to SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, where Donohue was living. Nevertheless, the two discovered that their approach to employed in their personal bedroom studios and exchanging materials online generated the very best outcomes, therefore Donohue and Prudhomme held making music just how they produced Canopy. In 2013, Painted Hands struck a cope with Polyvinyl Information, as well as the label released an individual, “Carousel” b/w “Click,” and a six-song EP, Nothing at all Lasts Long. 2014 noticed the release from the duo’s 1st full-length recording, Forever. For 2015’s Horizons, Painted Hands decided to tremble up their method, and rather than working separately within their bedroom studios, they worked well together in a normal recording facility, became a member of by engineer Eric Broucek, who previously caused LCD Soundsystem.
