The singer also provided the vocals for the movie American Satan and the follow-up TV series Paradise City his singing voice was used for the main character Johnny Faust who was played by Andy Biersack. And that really allows us to grow and go wherever we want on an audio level.” “We're really fortunate to have Remington as a frontman because whether he's singing a folk song or a pop song or a metal song, you know it's Remington. ![]() “It's an interesting thing because I feel like art shouldn't have barriers or walls and you should be able to explore wherever you want to go. We definitely can do the heavier tones of The Bastards or we can get into the more delicate areas with the Fever Dream world,” Sebastian considers. “We're a punk band onstage but on records we're more of an alt rock band now. There’s the fragility of Line It Up, featuring a guest appearance from LP (Laura Pergolizzi) and there’s the absolute epicness of title-track Fever Dream, which comes on like Palaye Royale’s own version of Welcome To The Black Parade. There are moments of pure pop-rock bliss in opener Eternal Life and No Love In LA. The stadia-aspiring, glam-tinged anthems of their previous albums are all present and correct, but there are more intricacies and different approaches at play. None of which is to say that Fever Dream sounds like Rachmaninoff, Ben Folds Five or, for that matter, Chas & Dave. “We worked with different microphone techniques with Chris capturing it so you can hear the hammers hitting the strings, which is what gives it that warmth and texture, as opposed to making it sound like an electronic piano.” “The piano has been a huge part of our musical upbringing and it’s a big part of the band, but it's one that hasn't really been captured in the recording process,” Sebastian says, going on to explain that they’ve had issues in the past with recording techniques. This added an extra dimension and sense of freedom to the songwriting process, as well as a more prominent position for the old ivories themselves. The house had not only baby and grand pianos but more exotic electro-mechanical cousins like a Mellotron to play with. According to Sebastian, the three brothers had all started their respective musical journeys on the piano. In classic rock band style they holed up together in an old house in Hollywood and, with lockdown restrictions in place, had little to do but concentrate on the album. The environment they were writing and recording in certainly helped when it came to their combined creativity. And it ended up working because now we're really close with one another again.”Īs well as doing wonders for their familial and intra-band relationships, the sessions also resulted in Palaye Royale’s finest album to date. “If we wanted to make an album with him, we had to be on our best behaviour. We were getting in fights all the time, it became a thing where he said, 'I'm not going to work with you guys if you talk to each other in such a disrespectful manner’,” the guitarist recalls. ![]() “We were in a really terrible place with one another. The only problem was, he wasn’t overly happy about being caught in the middle of their toxic relationships. As a singer-songwriter in his own right who has collaborated extensively with Poppy and YUNGBLUD, as well as working with the likes of Blink-182 and Pussy Riot, the producer seemed perfect for helping Palaye Royale to realise the rather more expansive vision that would become their new album Fever Dream. Their first-choice partner for this project was Chris Greatti. ![]() Lockdown gave them something they’d never really had before the chance to really take their time in making a new album. In the end it took the enforced curtailment of all touring activity that lockdown brought – as well as an intervention from their producer – to help them reset those relationships. It definitely got to times where we were at each others’ throats,” Sebastian says. It was great but it was very close quarters and we were doing 200 shows a year. It was a progression that kept on growing. “We went from our mom's car to a van to an RV to a bandwagon to a bus.
