World’s First Cinema have shared their newest single and music video “Palm Reader.” The new track captures sentiments of Hollywood’s golden age while setting the stage for an innovative, dreamlike sound: soft piano juxtaposed with bold and emotive strings weaving an unforgettable story.
“Writing ‘Palm Reader’ was an opportunity to paint the elements we love most into a dramatic portrait. We’ll take every chance we get to breathe a ‘cinematic’ moment into a modern piece of music – and the chorus of ‘Palm Reader’ is one we’re proud of,” says the band on the track. “That sweeping moment when the orchestra rises up to blend with the electronic production and the two worlds of film scoring and pop music collide and crystallize – that’s what we want people to expect from World’s First Cinema.”
When you watch a movie in a crowded theater, you give your undivided attention to the experience itself. Your senses lock into the action on the screen and the sound from the speakers, and you’re completely immersed — making the Los Angeles Theater the perfect home for the Palm Reader video shoot. Directed by Luigi Calabrese and filmed in the gorgeous Los Angeles Theatre – which has a rich history and has been seen in New York, New York (1977), Charlie’s Angels (2000), Mad Men, “Jaded” by Aerosmith (2000), “Delicate” by Taylor Swift (2018), “Black Swan” by BTS (2020), and many more – the music video finds a liminal space between nostalgia and foresight.
