Indie Pop Act Night Palace Share New Single “Nightshade”
New York-based indie psych pop group Night Palace are set to release their debut album Diving Rings on February 11th. The group, fronted by singer-songwriter Avery Draut, have shared their latest single “Nightshade”, capturing the melodic warmth of dream-pop and lo-fi guitar-pop. Inspired by a folktale that Draut’s grandmother shared when she was a child, “Nightshade” has a mystical, yet quirky feel to it that mirrors the strange magic of the story. “My grandma first told me the magic that if you plant pennies under hydrangeas that the flowers will change colors,” Draut explains. “She was full of this type of factlet, and I find myself echoing her magic all the time.”
Continuing about where “Nightshade” fits on the record, Draut adds, “This song holds a sort of thesis of the album: faith that even when the seashells of our love – our memories – disintegrate into sand, they become a part of a glittering collective. Generational wisdom suspends the dark waters, and us in it, and even when we don’t know what’s next, we know that it is teeming with life, with some kind of future.”
