Wild Palms sign record deal

The band that once called themselves Ex Lion Tamers have signed to One Little Indian, and are set to release their debut single for the label in April.

‘Deep Dive’ will be released on April 19th and is rumored to see the London four-piece sounding like they never have. Singer Lou Hill told NME “The stuff we are writing now is a complete departure from anything scratchy or angular – it’s warm and it’s expansive.”

The Wire comparisons were a plenty back in the Ex Lion Tamers days, but now the band are going for more of a kraut feel, inspired by heroes Can and Neu!.
