Album of the week: December 3 – Palm Springs

December 3rd 2018

Palm Springs is the solo moniker of Melbourne artist Erica Dunn. As a member of Mod Con, Tropical Fuck Storm and Harmony, Dunn has cemented a central place in the city’s underground music community but on her new album Palm Springs & Friends she takes the opportunity to explore a different sonic identity. Recorded during an artist’s residency program in New York in June 2017 the majority of the tracks on the album were completed in a single 10-hour session. This approach to recording reinforces the immediacy of the tracks on Palm Springs & Friends. A seven track expedition of outsider folk, set amongst the warm hiss of tape and stripped back instrumentation, Palm Springs & Friends is an intimate and arresting album.
