After releasing the songs “The Spirit of St. Louis” and “Truth and Diamonds” early in 2015, Los Angeles-via-Brooklyn artist Alge has just dropped a new single called “Palms of Our Hands.” It features his friend and frequent collaborator, the Brooklyn-based R&B artist DAJ, and is his most anthemic and dynamic track yet. The iced-out pop motif in Alge’s music continues evolving as this track begins by sliding into darkness but immediately soars into new light with a hypnotic and tinny cascade of production launching it forward, bolstered with boom-clack drum beats, synth tones both melodic and swirling, and a catchy hook that brings it all together, before grinding to a close. “Palms of Our Hands” is the third single in an ongoing monthly series that will culminate this summer with an EP, as well as Alge’s live debut with shows on each coast, and work on his debut album.
