Arriving in adulthood is a bitter-sweet experience. Abandoned childhood fascinations make way for tough life lessons. But also the hope and potential that comes with taking charge – of both your life and others’.These are the central themes in Nowadays, the second full-length album from Palace Winter.
Having played in bands separately for years, a mutual respect for each other’s styles encouraged them to start writing together. Carl coming from a song-writing background. Caspar, a producer and classically trained pianist. Both, however, appreciate a strong melody, which is evident throughout the atmospheric dark-pop they create.
Their debut single was released in 2015, followed by the EP Medication and in the summer of 2016, their debut album, “Waiting for the World to Turn” had arrived. All released via Copenhagen-based label Tambourhinoceros.
The support that followed was widespread. Number 1 on Hype Machine and overwhelming reviews from heavy hitters like The Guardian, NME and Line of Best Fit. Radio support came from Guy Garvey, Lauren Laverne and Tom Ravenscroft at BBC 6 Music, KCRW, KEXP, Norway’s P3 and Denmark’s P6.
The band have successfully brought their cinematic psych-pop to the stage. With an increasing number of sold out live shows under their belts, fans have not been left disappointed by their hypnotic and mind-blowing live sets.
Having already supported Noel Gallagher and played Guy Garvey’s Meltdown, Roskilde, Green Man, Sziget in Budapest, Latitude and Secret Garden Party, amongst many others, Palace Winter are well placed to blow the roof off 2018.

Palace Winter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To when your hair was longer than mine
On this plane, it's gonna take me back
Back in time, when your face looked like mine
Cause' I want you to shine like a jewel
Not sitting there like some kind of fool
I want to go back in time
To when your hair was longer than mine
I want to go back in time
To when your hair was longer than mine
On this plane, it's gonna take me back
Back in time, when your face looked like mine
The song "Time Machine" by Palace Winter depicts the desire to return to a past moment in time. The singer wants to go back to a point in time when he and his partner resembled each other physically. The reference to "when your hair was longer than mine" suggests that the two of them had once been quite close in appearance.
However, the reason for wanting to go back in time is not just to relive that physical similarity. The singer also wants to see his partner shine and not be stuck in a state of seeming foolishness. It's possible that the singer feels responsible for his partner's current state, and he wants to go back to a time when things between them had been different.
Overall, the song's lyrics paint a picture of nostalgia and yearning for something that once was. It conveys a message of longing for the past, coupled with a desire to change the present.

Et virkelig godt nummer. Musikken maler det lange udstrækte landskab foran mig og Niels Rydung er en stærk tilstedeværelse i en musikvideo der er sensuel, kunstnerisk og tilgængelig på en og samme gang (y)
