Children of Coal Miners and Mormon Immigrants don’t usually make for good rock music candidates, but in the case of Palodine they bring with them an underlying power and intensity which tests the boundaries of dark American music. In 2006 Michael Aryn and Katrina Whitney gave us their traumatically tender and gripping debut “Desolate Son”. 2007 saw Palodine opening for such kindred musical acts as Woven Hand, Willard Grant Conspiracy and Low and in 2008 Palodine delivered their sophmore release “Garden Of Deceit”. This record offered a darker and grittier interpretation of their sound, more bombastic percussion, and heightened urgency from Michael’s guitar playing. Katrina began singing in a deeper and more resonant vocal style, while continuing to explore the Biblical imagery and symbolism that were alluded to in their prior effort. Here we witness a band evolving and working out their own demons. While “Garden of Deceit” may be a more direct and raw delivery both musically and thematically than their debut, there are also moments of introspection and vulnerability, ultimately resolving with a sense of illumination. This year the recently married duo return to the studio to record their third release “Saints of the Sea” which they predict to have a more bluesy influence in some of the material, more personal and provacative lyrics and wider dynamics from song to song.

Michael Aryn und Katrina Whitney stellen mit außergewöhnlicher Energie und Intensität die Grenzen düsterer, amerikanischer Musik auf die Probe. 2006 traten sie als Palodine mit ihrem beinahe traumatisch sanften und fesselnden Debüt-Album „Desolate Son“ in Erscheinung. Biblischer Symbolismus und Methaphorik prägen diese Band, die ihre eigenen Dämonen zu bändigen versteht. 2007 konnte man Palodine bereits als Opener für Szenegrößen wie Woven Hand, Willard Grant Conspiracy und Low erleben und sich von ihren Live-Qualitäten überzeugen. 2008 kam „Garden of Deceit“ heraus. Aufwendige Percussions und ein sehr druckvolles Gitarrenspiel zeigen hier eine weitaus dunklere Interpretation ihres Sounds. Freunde von P.J. Harvey, Nick Cave, Low, Woven Hand, The Black Keys, The Kills, Jessie Sykes und Kristen Hersh sollten sich die Live-Auftritte con Palodine nicht entgehen lassen!
