The secret? It's based on the cheesiest new age relaxation anthem this side of Enya.Īs ever, Clams takes mysterious and sometimes distasteful source material and crafts ethereal beats where samples are hammered flat into grainy layers of sound. 'Palace' reflects the more percussive and harder-hitting edge Clams has developed since the first Instrumental last year. It's suitably grandiose: choral vocals hum ominously over one of the New Jersey producer's heaviest beats, with a curiously theatrical feel like it belongs in some gladiator movie.
