Sounds LikeSOME STUFF NICE PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM, "ALL THINGS, FORESTS!" THANK YOU NICE PEOPLE! "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! ***** "Like all Palomar albums, this one is an instant party, as immediately likeable and accessible as the others. And yet it's somehow more serious and weighty and important than the ones that preceded it. No one ever let the old girl groups grow up...once they were through singing about boys and cars that was it. Palomar are still learning new things about life, themselves, songs and people, and All Things, Forests is all the stronger for it." - DUSTED MAGAZINE ***** "[Palomar] hits that combination of energy and introspection precisely, making the album seem both a bouncy rock album and a thoughtful, sensitive pop album. It's complicated in an exciting way, like the universe." - BIG TAKEOVER MAGAZINE, issue #60 ***** "This is a very strong LP, with Palomar rivaling the Essex Green for the title of Most Underrated Indie Rock Band Ever.... All things, forests is an exercise in the tension between exuberance and cool, joy and darkness, seeing the forest for the trees." - Austin Chronicle ***** "All things, forests' momentum and energy shows that, sonically, whatever setbacks have dogged the band have bolstered its enthusiasm, not diminished it. Would someone please explain why Palomar isn't ruling the airwaves?" - TEXTURA MAGAZINE

   About Palomar
Palomar is a three-lady and one man outfit that hails from Brooklyn. Their first, self-titled album, won them comparisons to Seattle's Fastbacks and England's Talulah Gosh. But as the band matured, so did their sound. While releasing two more albums, Palomar toured the country, playing shows with indie rock staples Luna, Mates of State, Ted Leo, and Spoon, and the Wrens. Palomar's new album, 'All things, forests' expresses the tangled feelings of loss, doubt, joy, and wistfulness. Prepare yourself for a record that will invite itself up for tea and biscuits and have your clothes off by the second cup.

YOU CAN NOW BUY THE RARE AND ENDANGERED PALOMAR I, as well as Palomar III, right here at the link below. Buy the albums in their entirety or as single tracks. Just sign into snocap and they will show you the way. Yes!!
