Future Palace have dedicated an album to this feeling of overwhelm. On the new record “Distortion”, the Berlin post-hardcore trio deals with an almost oppressing mass of mental illnesses and problems. In doing so they create music that - appropriate to this topic - hits more hooks than ever before from one moment to the next, from the quietest depths to the loftiest heights. 

A central feature of Future Palace's music has always been the examination of the problems that primarily take place inside a person. “Distortion” is not only no exception in this context, but is also considered the brutal climax of this approach. The album title, which is derived from the psychological term cognitive distortion, represents a picture of a world in which the constant change in one's own perception causes one to fall into the same traps again and again from which there seems to be no way out. Future Palace prove that this confusing view of the world can manifest itself in many aspects by dealing with very different images of illnesses and people on “Distortion”, from ADHD to depression to narcissism. The Berlin band's third album is such an overwhelming force of emotions, struggles, negotiations, cycles and cries of desperation that the sheer amount alone can take your breath away when you listen to it.

“I sang the entire album with a root infection”, says singer Maria Lessing. “We had to postpone the studio stay because I had a wisdom tooth surgery shortly before we started recording and had to struggle with a lockjaw for a few weeks. The demos then had to be completed at extremely short notice - that was pure stress for me. But I have the feeling that the songs have become even more authentic here and there.” The genesis of “Distortion” also reflects the band’s everyday life. “The album was definitely created under the impression of being a heavy touring band”, explains guitarist Manuel Kohlert. “This means that it also exposes the feelings of being on the road a lot, of understanding your own existence in this special form of living and of looking into the past and future in this state.”
