2. Palms
post-rock/experimental/ambient And so arrives the first of two celebrity guest entries here, and if you thought I meant celebrity guest writers then Im sorry, I really am, but youre stuck with me. However, Im not really that sorry considering the gifts you get instead. The first of which are Palms. How are they a celebrity guest entry? Well, their members are Chino Moreno, of Deftones, and Jeff Caxide, Aaron Harris and Bryant Clifford Meyer, of Isis. I mean, that should surely be enough to get you interested, but if its not, well, how about the four together create an especially hypnotic and dream like strain of post-rock that delves into the more melodic and ambient moments of Isis via Deftones at their most mellow and experimental. All of which of course proudly sports Chinos typically serene and soaring vocals above it all. http://youtu.be/Kyp1KvQ6Tyg
