Here's a New Track by Painted Palms: "Forever"

Painted Palms is proof positive that not all long distance relationships disintegrate into awkwardly sad skype conversations and hours of pining for the other. Louisiana-born cousins, Reese Donohue and Christopher Prudhomme, started making music that truly coalesced when they were divided by four states and thousands of miles—when Donahue decamped to San Francisco and Prudhomme stayed Louisana local. The result was the sparkling, sun-filtered psych-pop EP, Canopy (2011), which subsequently piqued the interest of Polyvinyl Records.

Now both cousins are SF-repping (nice sweatshirt), and we've got our hands on "Forever," from their forthcoming LP of the same name (out on January 14). It's a brain-warpingly awesome cut of tripped-out pop which, with its lightly reverbed harmonies, tips its hat to "Lucy in The Sky with Diamonds"-era Beatles, while managing to sound fresh rather than stultifyingly retro.
