The track immediately establishes the collective as something exciting and fresh in modern music.
Borealis Palace is a collective of musicians that have come together with the joint ethos of pooling together their unique and creative sounds to craft something that feels entirely exciting and new. Their debut single ‘Stares’ highlights this distinctive approach and does a wonderful job of showcasing the immense potential and guile of the project.
The track has an off-kilter and atmospheric edge to it that feels entirely in a lane of its own, merging psych chamber pop with haunting, captivating vocals in a way that feels inspired. There is a palpable intensity that is created through the nuance and poise of the sound, with guitars and keys uncomfortably accosting each other to make for an immersive sonic experience that transfixes you in its sheer audacity and charm. The track immediately sets the collective aside as something entirely fresh and new, and has us salivating waiting to see what direction they push their sound into next.
