The Maine have revealed another slice of their upcoming album ‘Joy Next Door’, and it is, yet again, absolutely beautiful.

Titled ‘Palms’, it finds the band flexing their pop muscles in the most gorgeously addictive and atmospherically bold manner. A stunning blend of jangly chords and sky-high melodies, all steeped in the glow of a disco ball, it’s the sort of track that makes you cry whilst you’re dancing to it, simply because it makes you realise so much about yourself that you didn’t know was there. A reminder of just how far the band’s sonic repertoire stretches, it adds another layer of feeling to a record that is shaping up to be very lovely indeed.

Vocalist John O’Callaghan had this to say about the track, explaining, ‘”Palms’ was written at zero hour. And while the demo took all but 30 minutes while I was at home, we didn’t get it to final form for another couple months after. It may have been a function of thinking too much, but I’m glad we clawed our way through to get it to where you hear it now because it brings a little levity and balance to Joy Next Door. Plus, my four-year-old loves to hear her Dada say the F word. I hope you dig it, too (the song, not just the swear word.)”

‘Joy Next Door’ will be released on April 10 via Photo Finish Records.

Drummer Pat Kirch had this to say about the record as a whole, stating, “Every album of ours has a color that represents it, and Joy Next Door is the green era. The green grass on the album art feels like it matches perfectly with the organic instrumentation and imperfections left intact on the album.”

Here is the previous taster, ‘Quiet Part Loud’:
