Palette Knife
Bio
Palette Knife’s Keyframe, is a sonic adventure in serene melodies and groovy hooks. For fans of early 2000’s pop punk chorus catchiness and math rock breakdown head bobbing- this ten track full length is sure to knock your pop culture themed socks off. Rhythmic, heartfelt, and expertly detailed is what you can always expect from this three piece ensemble and their new album is no exception. Keyframe, is arguably addictive and plausibly even habit forming.
Reviews
“The emo trio’s passion for video games helped create an ambitious and moving sophomore album”
“Palette Knife’s similarities to midwest emo/math rock mainstays Origami Angel are undeniable. Both groups are distinctly characterized by wistful nostalgia, heaping helpings of immature humor, frenetic tap riffs, and surprisingly fitting vocal samples (in this case, a horrifying domestic dispute from the film Hereditary). While Palette Knife’s lyrical content may also initially feel familiar, a thorough parsing of New Game+’s prose reveals an outlook diametrically opposed to GAMI GANG’s sunshine and rainbows sugar high, an emotionally resonant weapon that assists the Columbus, Ohio trio in differentiating themselves from genre favorites and occupying their own niche in a saturated emo market.”
“New Game+ touches on everything one could possibly want or expect from an emo album in 2023—sound bites, weed edibles, nerdy gamer shit, PBR, anime, Adderall, and regrettable decisions, all with twinkle breakdowns in between. Palette Knife marvelously crafts an emo album for emo fans by emo fans. They know never to take themselves too seriously while playing to their strengths, offering up enough noodles to keep Midwest emo fans plugged-in and plenty of catchy choruses to keep pop-punk fans not sad anymore.”
