Minneapolis-based quartet Palm Friends follow the path that was first explored by bands like The Sundays and Belle and Sebastian. Their latest single, Hidden Perks, is a jangling sad pop excursion that leads to a happy ending of sorts. It is a slice of well-crafted indie pop, a dead ringer for airplay on college rock radio shows who can appreciate lyrical imagery and jangling guitars. It is the lead single for their new album, The Delivery, due for release on March 24 via Forged Artifacts.
