Palms

Palms came together following the demise of ISIS, with Jeff Caxide (bass),
Aaron Harris, (drums) and Clifford Meyer (keyboards/guitar) electing to
continue playing music together. "After a little time Jeff, Cliff, and I
decided that it was insane that we all still lived here in Los Angeles and
weren't playing together" Harris says."It just sort of happened
naturally, probably because we have been playing together for so long, and
things started to come together. But we didn't want to be instrumental: We
wanted vocals. We just weren't exactly sure who that would be at first."
The band, knowing that Chino Moreno (Deftones) had been a fan of ISIS,
thought he would be a great fit and he agreed. "A chance to work with the
guys from ISIS sounded like a lot of fun." Moreno says, "I've always been
into the atmospheric sounds they had created with that project and felt my
sense of melody would meld well with theirs."
