Brooklyn based duo Palomino is rather new in the NYC scene – they formed in 2010. The band’s faster songs (like the embedded "Ghost Story") are balancing acts in which mid-fi grittiness conveys character to lead singer’s Elijah Campbell Amitin Costellian retro-pop melodies. The 2 ballads in the record nod again at early 60s crooning classics, without giving up the distorted guitars and driving drums. Palomino will celebrate the release of their self-produced and self-titled debut EP at Ella Lounge on February 17.
