Swimming
Pallmer is a chamber-pop group born from late night improv sessions during a particularly snowy winter in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Using a cello and viola, the duo’s music melds their love of songwriting with their classical training, using loopers and guitar pedals to expand the possibilities of their wooden instruments.
The band has taken a slow but steady approach to releasing music, and after two EPs and two years of writing, Pallmer returned to the studio to record their first LP “Swimming.” The duo worked with JUNO award-winning producer Joshua van Tassel; their collaboration produced a tender collection of 9 songs that interweaves layers of strings, bass, ondéa, synthesizers, and marimba-like percussion. “Swimming” is slated to be released in 2024.
