Album Review: Palma Violets - Danger In The Club

Palma Violets had a hit with 2012’s Best Of Friends, a heartfelt, heavy track catchy as hell and emotionally cathartic. Danger In The Club has few similar virtues. The lyrics are repetitive and forgettable, which is good because when they try to go clever we get stinkers like “soft as quilts and lined with guilt”.

Still, there are a couple of enjoyable tracks, like the garage-poppy Gout! Gang! Go!. They can write a hook with their hands tied. It’s just unfortunate most of them are drowned in dreary vocals and stodgy production.
