Palmaria – ‘Crystallize’

Italian music duo Palmaria have just dropped a stunning alt-pop EP titled ‘Crystallize’, and it's absolutely stunning. A five-track release, the new EP is a fluid ocean of soundscapes touching on everything from ocean pollution to self-empowerment and trusting your destiny. Sonically the EP is an immersive alt-pop experience with delicately placed production, waves of surprises and an all-around smooth, comforting tone contoured in a shadow of magic and hope.

Hailing from a small town in Italy, Palmaria currently reside in London where members Giulia and Francesco have been making a name for their distinctive sound, poetically transporting listeners on a journey of dreamy landscapes and uplifting experiences that echoes The xx meets Sylvan Esso, meets Little Dragon on a field trip to the Italian coast. 

Their long-awaited EP, ’Crystallize’ was co-written and produced by B-CROMA (Yendry, Fia Moon) and Todd Speakman (Speakman Sound). The five-track release is a fluid ocean of soundscapes touching on everything from ocean pollution to self-empowerment and trusting your destiny. Sonically the EP is an immersive alt-pop experience with delicately placed production, waves of surprises and an all-around smooth, comforting tone contoured in a shadow of magic and hope.

Transitioning between a broad range of alt-pop sounds, the new EP offers glimpses into more ethereal, melancholy sounds in tracks like ‘Saudade’, vulnerable, cascading melodies in ‘Lluvia’, and a wave of mesmerising guitar-based sounds that shine with limitless potential in ‘Ocean’ and the stunning title track.

Aiming to create a safe space and inspire creativity, the duo shared that wherever people listen to the EP, “we want to transport the listeners to someplace where they can feel free, where they can be themselves, a safe space”.

Palmaria has garnered acclaim from publications such as Complex, NOTION, Wonderland, The Line of Best Fit and CLASH and have been playlisted by numerous official Spotify and Apple playlists including New Music Friday, Fresh Finds and many more, amassing over 3 million streams to date.
