About Palomar
Brooklyn's beloved Palomar have been turning out highly melodic rock for more than a decade. These three ladies and a man mix wry humor, whimscial melodies, and driving guitars to define a sound uniquely their own amongst the groundswell of junior Brooklyn bands. With four albums under their belt (the last, All Things, Forests, released in 2007 on Misra Records), they are no putting finishing touches on a fifth. Have a listen here:

"Brooklyn's Palomar makes indie-pop sound like it wandered through a cloud of gamma radiation and wound up with superpowers: lurid muscles, torn jeans, the whole nine. Rachel Warren's singing is simple and tonally pure, with the same mix of velvety sweetness and skyscraping grandeur that makes boys swoon for Jenny Lewis...." - PITCHFORK MEDIA

"Like the Bangles with a death wish, this indie-rock girl gang (and a token guy) begin their fourth CD with Shangri-Las harmonies on a song about being buried..." - SPIN MAGAZINE, 3.5 stars!

"This is a very strong LP, with Palomar rivaling the Essex Green for the title of Most Underrated Indie Rock Band Ever....." - AUSTIN CHRONICLE
