Palberta are a lo-fi noise rock trio whose playful, unpredictable songs, which are usually around a minute or two each, recall post-punk groups like LiLiPUT and the Raincoats as well as the no wave scene. Anina Ivry-Block, Lily Konigsberg, and Nina Ryser began Palberta while attending Bard College during the early 2010s. All three members switch instruments, in addition to providing childlike harmony vocals that often abruptly shift from soft crooning to harsh shrieking, resembling the art-damaged offspring of the Roches. ~ Paul Simpson
