Ahead of the release of their tenth album, Joy Next Door, your favorite Arizona emo act The Maine has revealed “Palms.” Preceded by singles “Die To Fall” and “Quiet Part Loud,” the LP is due out April 10 via Photo Finish Records.
Frontman John O’Callaghan notes, “‘Palms’ was written at zero hour. And while the demo took all but 30 minutes while I was at home, we didn’t get it to final form for another couple months after. It may have been a function of thinking too much, but I’m glad we clawed our way through to get it to where you hear it now, because it brings a little levity and balance to Joy Next Door. Plus, my four-year-old loves to hear her Dada say the F word. I hope you dig it, too (the song, not just the swear word).”
In classic The Maine fashion, their new offering is utterly euphoric indie with an alternative edge that serves as an instant mood-booster. You’ll be screaming “Fuck that!” from the top of your lungs in no time. Check out the new single below.
The band is kicking off their first tour in nearly two years with Nightly, Grayscale, Franklin Jonas, Friday Pilots Club, Broadside, and Moody Joody on select dates. Check out the full tour route below and grab tickets here.
