Palace are starting 2025 in style, releasing their atmospheric new single ‘Greyhound’ and gearing up for their biggest-ever North American tour. The track, drenched in reverb and showcasing Leo Wyndham’s haunting vocals, is the first to be taken from their upcoming EP and marks a new chapter for the band as it’s released on their own label, Palace Presents.
“‘Greyhound’ is about a musician’s love/hate relationship with touring,” Leo explained. “It’s the pain and heartache of being away from the people closest to you, but at the same time the rush and romance of travelling the world and playing shows with your friends.”
The single was produced by their longtime collaborator Adam Jaffrey at Unwound Studios and debuted live during their sold-out UK and European tours last year. Fans can also grab an exclusive limited edition 12” vinyl, available only at www.wearepalace.com.
The launch of Palace Presents as their new creative home signals the band’s commitment to independence. Initially a gig night at East London’s historic George Tavern, Palace Presents has evolved into a hub for the band’s creative endeavours. “We believe Palace Presents is the necessary foundation for us to grow and remain in control of our expression,” Leo said.
In February and March, the trio will bring their soulful sound to 23 cities across the US and Canada, wrapping up at LA’s Hollywood Palladium on 29th March. Highlights include Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl, Washington D.C.’s 9:30 Club, and Seattle’s Showbox Sodo.
Palace (Leo Wyndham, Rupert Turner, and Matt Hodges) have been captivating audiences since their debut EP Lost in the Night in 2014. Four albums later, including last year’s critically acclaimed Ultrasound, they’ve built a loyal fanbase drawn to their lush, cinematic sound.
