I Am In Love – Palm

• 17th Apr 2012

Formed in Leicester in December 2010, Sebastian Twigden, Nicci Robertson, Edmund Grunill and Martin Brien create dark, to the heart, electro indie. I am in love.

Now based in London, I Am In Love, have gained huge interest from prime time Radio 1 DJs, BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson, BBC Introducing’s Dean Jackson, all of whom have fallen for their dark-pop sound. The band's first single, 'I Want You', released April 2011 made it onto the Radio 1 playlist, giving the band massive momentum.

On the back of this, the band released a debut mini-album in May, across mainland Europe on Velocity Sounds Records and Rough Trade, which received coverage in a number of big European music magazines such as Intro, Rockstar, Musikexpress, Zillo and Orkus.

In November 2011, NME awarded their single ‘Call Me an Animal’ MP3 of the day and this buzz was echoed further in the digital world as praise came in from blogs such as Fake Plastic Tunes, The Von Pip Musical Express, The Burning Ear and many more.

Live, the band is driven by soaring vocal melodies and entwined with harmonious synths, spiky guitar riffs and pulsating Bloc Party-esque drum motifs. I Am In Love, played over 50 shows and festivals in 2011, ramming venues from London to Berlin and winning over massive crowds at prestigious festivals such as Summer Sundae Weekender, Y Not, Kendal Calling and Munich Theatron. I am in Love are one of the most exciting bands in the country. Pulsating stares, lustful lunges and unruly shrieks are all part of the package. Space is compromised for a haven of lust and desire.

2012 has seen the band play rammed shows at 93 Feet East Old Blue Last as well as abroad in Austria and Switzerland, including supporting Phantogram in Lucerne Switzerland.

They return to the Old Blue Last to launch new single ‘Palm’ May 1st with b-side ‘Lay Down’ to follow.
