Post-punk music for emotional engagement, intellectual stimulation, energetic dancing and nostalgic enjoyment!
The third album from Palais Ideal, ‘Negative Space’, offers a collection of energetic, melodic, guitar-driven, songoriented post-punk. The album is strongly inspired by ‘classic’ bands such as The Sound, Buzzcocks, Modern English and Comsat Angels. ‘Negative Space’ features the mixing talents of Pete Burns (Kill Shelter) and has been mastered by Jason Corbett (Actors).
Following the cancellation of the band’s 2020 European tour half way through, due to the rapid spread of the pandemic, John Edwards and Richard van Kruysdijk initially felt as if they were ‘in limbo’ – hence the album title. However, this became an opportunity to rethink the band’s sound, and inject a dose of musical and lyrical energy, optimism and hope – much needed in this difficult period.
The release is supported by a European tour with labelmates Syzygyx and Ultra Sunn, which kicks off in February 2022.
Limited Edition of strictly 200 copies, on YELLOW Vinyl and coming with an insert sheet.
Released Late November 2021 by Cold Transmission.
