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”.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
