Palms on Fire is an English-language indie pop band from Russia with a fondness for hazy vocals and jangly guitars. Formed in Izhevsk in 2009, they soon released EP #1, which was followed by 2011's EP #2, 2012's Call Me EP, and 2014's Cars EP. A year later, the band signed with Shelflife, which issued their debut long player, Where Are the Grey Clouds Going?, in early 2016. Both wispy and rhythmic, the album was recorded back in Russia but written while the band was staying in India, where they added drummer Kishan Balaji to the lineup of Anna Kislova, Max Kislov, and Konstantin Korolev. ~ Marcy Donelson
