2016 was a perfect year for Winter Palace. About a year ago, nobody knew this Danish band, but since their debut Waiting For The World To Turn was released, the ball started rolling.
Also, Peek-A-Boo was highly impressed (we thought the music of Carl Coleman and Caspar Hesselager was a nice mixture of Radiohead and Echo And The Bunnymen).
Meanwhile, the Danes played at large festival stages such as Roskilde or were played on BBC6. This week a new EP Hearts to Kill is out which includes some live recordings. There will also be a European tour (see dates below)

Het parcours dat Palace Winter dit jaar heeft afgelegd is bijna dat van een sprookje. Pakweg een jaar geleden kende niemand deze Deense band, maar sinds hun debuut Waiting For The World To Turn werd uitgebracht, ging de bal aan het rollen.
Ook Peek-A-Boo was sterk onder de indruk (we vonden dat de muziek van Carl Coleman en Caspar Hesselager wel iets van Radiohead en Echo And The Bunnymen had).
Ondertussen stonden de Denen al op grote festivalpodia als Roskilde of werden ze gedraaid op BBC6. Deze week verschijnt er een nieuwe ep Hearts to Kill, met als bonus een paar live-opnames. Er komt ook een Europese toer (zie de data onderaan) en op 19 oktober staan ze in Cafe Video in Gent.
Julinko was born in Prague in the spring of 2015.
The world it evokes orbits around symbols, myths, allusions and oddities.
Circling in a perpetual burbling ambivalence that oscillates from dreamy drone songwriting to proto-punk vibrations, the lo-fi roughness and intensity of its music cast a freezing atmosphere and a caress at once.
The penetrating electric guitar of Giulia Parin, author of the songs and lyrics, resounds sharply and deeply to slowly die away, absorbed by a gloomy voice that acute and whispering, flows together with the music.
Meanwhile, through guitar, accordion and percussions, Carlo Veneziano, co-writer of the music, strengthens the songs' atmospheres creating dense and grim noises, rythmics and melodies.
Julinko's first album “Hidden Omens” was released in september 2015 in limited cassette version by the Czech “Stoned to Death” , a very active independent label which published, among others, also Father Murphy and Hobocombo.
The second album “Sweet Demon” will be out at the end of September 2016 in collaboration with the Italian label Tiny Speaker.
With “Sweet Demon” Julinko pushes forward its very own mesmeric formula.
The term MIKROMUSICHA means that branch of the sound world that deals with infinitesimal molecules interact with the neuronal apparatus of the individual fully aware of its limitations.
For its characteristic developing sound within the membranes of the linear modulation experimental, MIKROMUSICHA fits nicely with the deepest emotions and the intimate passions.
I wanted to transfer the same feelings through five sections, finely machined, so as to bring the listener into the world of the most visceral spirituality, to his eternal benefit.
Maurizio Bianchi
Maurizio Bianchi played microtonal electronics and infinitesimal noises.
The CD is out on EE Tapes on 100 copies only.
