Palindrones return with ‘Animus’ single & video – Out now

Palindrones
The UK-based dark electronic duo Palindrones has just released its latest single “Animus” from their upcoming full-length album, “Chapter 2: The Slender Blade”. “The Slender Blade” will be available on all major digital outlets on March 28th.
“Animus” is the spiritual companion to “Anima” from their 2023 album, “Chapter One: With Fearful Velocity”. The band explains it as follows: “‘Anima’ and ‘Animus’ are representations of the unconscious feminine and masculine aspects in the human psyche. The songs together represent the union of us, Karen and Jamie, and how our connection flows together to create the greater whole of Palindrones.”
You can download the single now from Bandcamp.
Below is the accompanying video to “Animus”.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
