The blues’ crooners make a serendipitous return after two years away, with the brooding beauty of Heaven Up There.After a short European tour this October, the London group’s first new taste of music since So Long Forever retains their remarkable ear for blissful blue’s rock. A calming intro of droopy guitars welcomes in waves of euphoric pop, which WU-LYF could have made claim to, as Leo Wyndham’s soft echoes begins the marathon that is Heaven Up There. Surpassing the seven minute mark, Palace’s first track back continues on with their episodic pacing, as Heaven Up There shows immense restraint throughout, with Leo and co unleashing melodic wave after wave of delicate guitars that explode into beautiful displays of shimmering indie pop for a welcomed return from one of Velvet’s favourites.
