Making Sounds for Andy

The mesmerising new album from Leeds’ finest Beige Palace. Beige Palace is a Steve Albini-certified minimalist rock trio, featuring the talents of Freddy Vinehill-Cliffe (Thank), Kelly Bishop (This Is How I Win) and Ant Bedford (Magnapinna). Making Sounds For Andy is their second full-length LP, which on first listen sees the band taking more straightforward and immediate approach than that of its predecessor Leg, with shorter songs, more traditional verse/chorus structures, and more typical “rock” riffs. But it’s all a dirty trick! Upon deeper listening, Making Sounds For Andy is a collection of the band’s most insular and labyrinthine material yet, with linear drum patterns and asymmetrical rhythms clashing against folk-inspired perpetual canon.
