Flashing in the dark See them start to gather round Made a single spark But it doesn’t make a sound Everyone is here See your face inside the light Pulled you into me We dissolve into the night And when I’m with you, I know we feel the same Don’t have to tell you, you see it in my face And when I’m with you, there’s nothing in the way Don’t have to tell you, you know that it’s true Feel it closing it Like the rain is coming down Feel it from within Speaking hearts don’t make a sound Moving through the air Light reflecting off your eyes Hands are in your hair Fall apart, then you realize That when I’m with you, I know we feel the same Don’t have to tell you, you see it in my face And when I’m with you, there’s nothing in the way Don’t have to tell you, you know that it’s true Flashing in the dark See them start to gather round Made a single spark Speaking hearts don’t make a sound Everyone is here Light reflecting off your eyes Hands are in your hair Fall apart, then you realize

Contact 04:29
It’s alright, we do not have to move, let’s stay a while I’ve been given eyes for hunting and I see for miles Center of a motion blur, it just seems still to me I’ve been given hands for reaching out to what I see Changes in the weather, they don’t change a thing for me Senses unaffected, I just hover in the breeze Getting closer, I can feel it, let it come to me I’ve been given hands for reaching out to what I see Looking out and in, I am the stillness all around It’s moving through me, all the silence in the sound No, you can’t erase it, the stillness all around All the empty spaces, the silence in the sound

Gemini 03:03
Taking me through the emptiest house And I don’t know how to get out All of those things that we should move past They all disappear in the glass Met my twin and met my match You said, “Come with me through this doorway Show me all that you know I will change what you’re made of I will blur the lines, then I’ll go I will go” Caught in a trance whenever you speak I’m wondering if I’m asleep Take a step forward, never look back It all disappears in the glass Met my twin and met my match You said, “Come with me through this doorway Show me all that you know I will change what you’re made of I will blur the lines, then I’ll go I will go” I will let you come to me Then I think that you will see I will let you come to me I will wait for what will be

Glaciers 03:28
We build these cities up here in the sky Here we see we’re empty space without an end in sight Move to the horizons, all horizons move to me Look into my eyes and see that it’s a one way street My eyes have made the things I see come my way Each landscape makes its way through me, and I’ll stay I feel it rolling under me, come my way Don’t think I’ll ever leave this dream where I stay Up above we watch the currents change As they pass from down below I hear them call my name Move to the horizons, all horizons move to me Look into my eyes and see that it’s a one way street My eyes have made the things I see come my way Each landscape makes its way through me, and I’ll stay I feel it rolling under me, come my way Don’t think I’ll ever leave this dream where I stay We build a city up here Watch the currents move around me We can see for miles up here Feel like time will never find me

Echoes 02:30
Pack up cause we gotta get out Leave all that you don’t need We don’t have a lot of time now Come with me We see better when it’s night out Path lit by the stars Keep on moving right ahead now Running from the dark You’re looking for something that’s not there And the night is echoing your stare We’ll drift away till we’re not there Keep shaking the memories out your hair Loaned out to me by a lender Buys a little more time But I know he will collect her She’s not mine Just follow the sound of my voice Don’t you turn around Else I’m losing you forever Swallowed by the ground You’re looking for something that’s not there And the night is echoing your stare We’ll drift away till we’re not there Keep shaking the memories out your hair

Control 05:11
Walk the street, what do I see? 50 people looking back at me In their eyes I don’t recognize Nothing that I ever feel inside Don’t ask them what you should do You should know All my life I’ve heard em call my name But I won’t go After all this time, I can see what’s mine And I’m gonna push on through They better let me go, they’re gonna lose control Don’t let em get a hold on you Sick and tired of the way it feels When it looks so plastic and they say it’s real In their eyes I don’t recognize Nothing that I ever feel inside I can see all of the sky right behind my eyes I can see all of the sky I can see for miles Gotta make it real, don’t let them hypnotize I can see all of the sky I can see for miles
7.
Disintegrate 04:32
Nothing ever seems to change here inside me But I’m watching people changing around me Said goodbye to you and left you behind me Saw the sky open up before my eyes Yeah you never even tried to see me Love was never something you had to teach me And when you dissolve then new worlds get made Gotta let yourself just disintegrate Might be walking on a path to destruction But the mess I make is something to build from Yeah I feel like I’ve got new words on my tongue And I’ll follow all my visions outside
8.
Waterfall 02:34
We are a waterfall That you don’t hear at all And everything we feel Is spinning like a wheel Yeah we don’t make a sound But you still know we’re here We’ll keep it underground You’ll feel it in the air I can feel it now (I can feel it now) Let me show you how (never made a sound) I can feel it now (you just walk on by) Let me show you how (keep em hypnotized) We are an endless road With nowhere else to go Don’t carry what we found And we don’t turn around We don’t fall in love We just know it’s here We’ll keep it underground You’ll feel it in the air Waterfall that you can’t hear And your thoughts are spinning like a wheel Feel it more as it moves near Your thoughts are spinning like a wheel Feel it coming on
9.
Painkiller 03:48
Painkiller, I don’t know what you give me But I know I want some more Painkiller, when I’m feeling so low I know you’re there to settle the score Painkiller, I can’t say you’re forgiving But I know that you are fair Painkiller, where is it that I go? Anyplace else, take me there
10.
Tracers 04:03
Walking in the dark Now you can’t make it back Waves against the rocks And you can’t find the map Nothing left to hold now Nothing left to hold you back Yesterday released you Lose what you used to have Lights out, nowhere to go No stars to guide me home But I can feel a silhouette begin to spread across the night Walking in the dark just waiting for the sunrise Can’t recall, but I see the future there in your eyes Silent like a light Look for the other side Reach into the night What are you gonna find Nothing left to hold now Looking at the empty sky Yesterday released you It’s what you gotta leave behind

about

Painted Palms' second full-length album, Horizons, exudes a sense of confidence and purpose that is only present when two creators share a singular focus and absolute trust in each other’s talents.

On Horizons, emotional states are suspended between light and dark, driven by the tension of efficient song structures. From the first ominous harmonies of lead single “Refractor,” it’s clear that Painted Palms’ panoramic pop sound has never been more fully realized.

Though vocalist Chris Prudhomme and producer Reese Donohue chose to collaborate on their second full-length by sending song ideas back and forth over e-mail, just as they did when crafting their 2014 debut Forever, Horizons marks the first time the duo has expanded their sound beyond the bedroom by stepping into the studio.

Mixed by former DFA house engineer Eric Broucek (LCD Soundsystem, Classixx), Horizons engages with a diverse sonic palette on each track: ‘60s psych-pop, ‘80s synths, hypnotic vibes of the kind induced by Bjork and early ‘90s Creation Records bands, and the trunk-rattling minimalism of Southern hip-hop.

Horizons is a meditation on balance, on searching for a way to survive in a place where things are always changing, and there are no real ends. And as a result, it’s a record that showcases Painted Palms refining and executing their best work to date.
