Atlanta’s Pallas will release their self-titled debut album on May 26th via Drop Medium Records (Datenight, Pucker Up, Flower Girl) and they’ve shared “Cast A Lion, Cured A Crow.” The young Atlanta post-punk quartet have created a unique and challenging mini-album that shows the band’s strength in manipulated repetition, art-rock expanse, and abrasive rhythmic shifts.
Speaking about the song, Pallas’ Danielle Brutto shared, “There’s something relentless and impatient about the instrumentals of the song and for me it became about love hesitation, playing waiting games, and the feeling you get when you’re trying to love someone who holds all their cards to their chest while you’ve been showing off all of yours, but still getting no response to either continue or conclude. The title veers a little from that, but in the same sentiment, with sculpture casting and chemical reaction imagery. It references how something changes visually and at a molecular level in the stillness of everything but the time from the moment it is ‘cast’ in it’s liquid form (first impressions and intentions) to when it is ‘cured’, or solidified (conclusion and exposed truths, etc.). …and you know, hoping for a lion, but getting a crow.”
