Kamikaze Palm Tree is a duo from Los Angeles who started out on the small Muddguts label. Now signed to indie major Drag City, they just released their sophomore album last month. Mint Chip is a fragmented 14-track affair, that if anything reminds me of Drinks. “Club Banger” deconstructs harmony while keeping melodies intact. You can tell that Cole Berliner and Dylan Hadley have been working with Tim Presley on this record and in fact, Hadley has previously played in both White Fence and Cate le Bon’s band.
