_“With the help of handful of demos and a killer live show, (Palomino Blond) built
up a following and even garnered praise from Iggy Pop, who called them “one of Miami’s
brightest lights.” Sonically speaking, (their) sound is a melding of everything 
from ’90s-kissed alt.rock to goth to shoegaze. All in all, it’s a catchy approach
that wouldn’t sound out of place on modern rock radio right now.”- [**No Echo**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2femail.cloud.secureclick.net%2fc%2f6813%3fid%3d16726621.42671.1.2969258019e1ad00845e2832478bc3a4&umid=136e8da9-6ed6-445b-a942-96e6687bdb01&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-ee250dcfd0f610efbe979a89e7b5fa964dc8f131)_

_“A patchwork of ’90s alt-rock influences notably defined by a wailing shoegaze 
guitar.”- _**_Flood_**

_“Palomino Blond should definitely be a band to keep an eye on.”- _**_The Alternative_**

_“One of this city’s hardest-working bands.”- _**_Miami New Times_**

_“…boasts a sound and ethos informed by bands like G.L.O.S.S.—but the big lead guitar,
crushing chords and sticky melodies still sound fresh as ever.”- _**_Creative Loafing_**

_“Rousing and exudes a vintage cinematic feeling that is purely magnetic.”- _**_Earmilk_**

“Machine” is the first new music from Miami, FL’s **Palomino Blond** since their
7-song mini LP, ‘ontheinside,’ was released in November of 2021.

Produced once again by the band and collaborator **Jonathan Nuñez** (guitarist of**
Torche**) the song _“went through at least 5 different iterations with different
tempos, keys, moods, and electronic drum sounds”_ said lead singer and guitarist**
Carli Acosta**.

The result is a darker, more dense and grimier effort than previous offerings. “
Machine” was Mixed by veteran Engineer/Producer **Steve Evetts (The Cure, Poison
The Well, Saves the Day)** and Mastered by **Dan Coutant (Jawbox, The Sword, Fiddlehead)**.

_“There are a couple of themes in this song…Feeling like the world is changing so
much and so quickly that you need to play catch up with it constantly…and then there’s
also being alone with yourself and all the reflection that comes with it.”_ Carli
added.

Coincidence or not?, Acosta also noted, _“[the lyrics] ‘slip on a surgical mask’
were written in 2019, which was really eerie to me after I actually had to start
wearing masks due to COVID about a year later. It reminded me of when I was a kid
and I used to think I had prophetic dreams – they were really just little coincidences
that I’d notice in my dreams that would happen in real life.”_ “Machine” is out 
now on all digital platforms.

**About:** 
PALOMINO BLOND Carli Acosta – Guitar, VocalsKyle Fink – Guitar, VocalsPeter
Allen – Bass, Guitar, BG VocalsEmma Arevalo – Drums, BG Vocals

Palomino Blond originated in 2018 and immediately developed a reputation as one 
of the hardest-working bands in Florida, packing house shows and converted warehouses
with only a handful of demos to their name. From their humble beginnings in Kendall[
a SW Miami suburb’s] long tradition of DIY all-ages shows to getting recognized 
by Iggy Pop as “one of Miami’s brightest lights,” Palomino Blond has consistently
grown its audience through a music-first approach with raucous live shows and an
infectious, ever-evolving sound that is as inviting as it is intense in its mood
shifts.

The Miami New Times called “Supergalore” from their 5-Song Demos EP a “propulsive
bummer anthem, buoyed by floating vocals and brutal riffs built in to three musical
acts,” also naming it one of the “Best Songs of 2018.” The band’s carefully crafted
guitar-based songs sound as relevant now as they would have been in the 90’s, with
roots in Grunge, Gothic Rock, Pop-Punk, and Shoegaze.

Early 2019 saw the release of the single and striking video for “Creature Natural”(
Directed by Michael Cuartas and Jonathan Cuartas – Director sof the 2020 Patrick
Fugit-starring film, My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To), with the Miami 
New Times going as far to say that “Palomino Blond is taking Miami by Storm,” and
calling it one of “The 20 Best Miami Songs of 2019.”

This organically led to Southeast US supporting shows and tours with Black Lips,
Of Montreal, Last Dinosaurs, Chastity Belt, Spirit of the Beehive, A Place to Bury
Strangers, The Casket Lottery, Born Ruffians, Unwed Sailor, Ceramic Animal, seeyousoon,
Thelma and the Sleaze, and Spendtime Palace, along with appearances at The Fest (
18, 19 and 20), iii Points (‘21,’22), Sing Out Loud, Pulp Fest, Fox Fest, Bumblefest,
and MadSoul amongst others.

The band’s fiery live shows regularly garner glowing comparisons to such luminaries
as The Smashing Pumpkins, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Sonic Youth, and The Breeders.

The coronavirus pandemic hit Florida in March 2020, just as the band’s 12″ Split
EP with Las Nubes on BuFu Records was to be released. During the resulting quarantine,
original members Raven Nieto (bass) and Jake Karner (drums) exited the band, with
close friends Peter Allen (Bass/Vocals) and Acosta’s cousin, Emma Arevalo (Drums/
Vocals) now in the fold as permanent members and key contributors.

Summer 2021 saw the release of the forward-thinking, self-recorded and produced “
Dead Hand”/”Lo Siento” double-single, two radically different offerings to tide 
fans over until the release of their debut 7-song Mini-LP, ontheinside, which was
released on November 19th, 2021 by Palomino Blond and Limited Fanfare (The Sh-Booms,
Astronautalis, Ex Norwegian, Heavy Drag.) with Vinyl, Cassette and CD arriving February
25st, 2022.

Recording of the album began in late 2019 with the lead single and fan-favorite,“
Phoebe.”

“…”Phoebe” was the first ‘new song’ we started playing live after we released our
initial batch of demos. It’s a favorite of ours and has been in our set for over
2 years by this point, but wasn’t finished until 2021 due to the pandemic,” says
guitarist and vocalist Kyle Fink, (who wants everyone to know that the song is NOT
about indie songstress Phoebe Bridgers). ontheinside was Produced and Mixed by Palomino
Blond and Jonathan Nuñez (of Miami heavy legends Torche) and Mastered by Brad Boatright(
The Armed, WRONG, Stranger Things Soundtracks) at Audiosiege in Portland, OR.

Acosta points out about Nuñez, “Working with Jon [again] was cool because we got
to play guitar through his massive [Nuñez Amplification] amps on a lot of the tracks.
He’s definitely just as focused as we were on achieving that loud, bass-that-shakes-
your-rear-view-mirror type of sound.” Other standout tunes on oti include “Stone,”
which was mixed by Grammy-nominated Producer/Engineer/Editor Alan Armitage (Ginuwine,
Boyz II Men, N’Sync).

Carli notes that “Stone came together in the studio for the most part. It had a 
post-punk feel at rehearsals, and then it evolved into this big blossoming neo-psych
vibe in the studio. It even feels a little country at some points.” The dark and
building “Lovely,” “Is almost through-composed, with very few repeating melodies
save for the reprise of the first verse at the end. To me, it’s like our Bohemian
Rhapsody if Bohemian Rhapsody were 3 minutes long.”

For the title track, “ontheinside” is the result of the bandmates trusting each 
other’s judgment and building on each other’s ideas. Carli re-worked a demo that
Kyle wrote and added a new structure and lyrics. Emmy built their drum tracks on
the fly during the session, with Peter helping to layer the drums and synths, which
resulted in a propulsive and hypnotic sound that anchors the album and exceeded 
all of the band members’ expectations.

Palomino Blond is currently recording their 2nd album and will self-release their
new single, “Machine” digitally on June 16th, 2023. The song was again Produced 
by the band and Jonathan Nuñez and Mixed by veteran Engineer/Producer Steve Evetts(
The Cure, Poison The Well, Saves The Day) and Mastered by Dan Coutant (Jawbox, The
Sword, A Giant Dog).
