Peach Banquet - Rubber Leaves (2022)

We're proud to present the debut album by East Sussex-raised, London-based guitarist, composer and producer Peach Banquet (aka Jonathan Palmer).

'Rubber Leaves', a collection of looped solo guitar improvisations, broken and bent through chains of guitar pedals and modular synths, invokes the feeling of jumping into a cool river in a heat-fogged daze. Palmer's meandering guitar lines, inspired by Matsuo Basho's minimalist travelogues, and John Frusciante's 'To Record Only Water for Ten Days', bubble and multiply like frogspawn before evaporating immediately into the ether.

Recommended if you like the warped new age aesthetic of Devendra Banhart and Noah Georgeson's 'Refuge', or the sedative labyrinth of Knobs' youtube guitar pedal demos.
