Los Angeles alternative duo The Palms have returned with their new single, “When It Rains,” released through Ineffable Records. The song marks another step toward their upcoming album, After The Fire, scheduled for release on March 12, 2027.
Comprised of Johnny Zambetti and Ben Rothbard, The Palms have spent years cultivating a sound that blends indie rock, alternative pop, and the sun-soaked atmosphere of Southern California. Their music frequently draws from the contrasts of life in Los Angeles, a city where optimism, uncertainty, nostalgia, and ambition often exist side by side.
That distinctly West Coast identity has helped The Palms find an audience beyond their hometown. The duo has accumulated more than 50 million combined streams and YouTube views, building a catalog that connects with listeners drawn to melodic alternative music and independent songwriting.
The album’s title suggests change and renewal, themes that feel particularly appropriate for a band whose music has often balanced reflective songwriting with bright, accessible arrangements.
The Palms have consistently occupied a space between indie rock and alternative pop, combining the organic feel of guitar-driven music with an ear for memorable hooks. Their approach has allowed them to remain recognizable while continuing to develop their sound across releases.
For listeners who have followed the duo’s evolution, “When It Rains” offers another piece of the forthcoming record. For new listeners, it serves as an introduction to an independent Los Angeles act that has steadily built its audience outside the traditional major-label system.
With After The Fire arriving in March, The Palms are entering an important period in their career. “When It Rains” helps carry that momentum forward, giving fans more new music before the album arrives next spring.
