ALASKA REID PALOMINO

‘Palomino’ is the latest track from Alaska Reid. It’s a dreamy track that refuses to fit into a genre. Gritty melodies come from both Reid’s emotive voice and chunky distorted synths, while grunge influences collide with a laid-back country songwriting influence. It’s a complex listen, but in the best way. “My mom lived for a while in Los Angeles in the 80s and worked at a club called the Palomino in North Hollywood,” she explains. “She told me and my sisters all these crazy stories from those days. I wrote this song imagining I was her, working at a club like that.” ‘Palomino’ is taken from Alaska Reid’s upcoming debut album, Disenchanter, which drops on July 14th, 2023. -Dan Peeke.
