Often, a new beginning is exactly what’s needed. There’s something refreshing about taking a step back and reinventing the wheel, even if it was already turning before. Robert James knows it very well, having transformed previous rock band Superbloom into a brand new solo project, Palmar Arch. A proficient singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, the British talent first appeared on the scene in 2020, instantly showcasing the raw energy and catchy melodies he’s capable of.
‘Sunscript’ is the song chosen to relaunch the project – while previously released, now Palmar Arch has a brand new video for it, one that strongly takes the project’s narrative further. Let’s examine for a moment why you should listen and watch it: for a start, ‘Sunscript’ is a fierce, energetic slice of alt-rock, boasting gritty guitars and punchy drums. The song itself hits the mark, James’ vocals are evocative, charismatic and ready to dominate on a sonic wall of guitars and bass. The chorus is recognizable and memorable, showcasing how – even in rock settings – the project manages to provide pop elements.
Keeping up the band’s outlook, the captivating music video abstractly conveys the song’s message of mental health struggles. With over 50,000 Spotify streams and BBC Radio London airplay, Palmar Arch’s determination to make his mark on the industry is undeniable. The project is currently in the works of completing its debut album, which listeners should expect to hear in 2023.
