Naima Bock announces debut album with title-track "Giant Palm"

"Giant Palm" is Naima Bock's first release since February's "Every Morning", and is teamed with a Max McLachlan-directed video.

Naima Bock says of the track, ""Giant Palm" was written collaboratively by myself and Joel Burton (who arranged and produced the whole album), I wrote the vocal melody and lyrics and he wrote the instrumentation. The recording process was limited (which I always find the most creatively productive way to record) by what we had in Joel’s room and recorded during the summer of 2020, resulting in mostly electronic instruments apart from the acoustic guitar. The vocals were later recorded by my dad, Victor Bock. We named the album after this song as it was the one that most reflected our collaboration as musicians and the innocence and freedom that characterised the making of the record."

A press release states that Naima Bock's debut album is inspired by Brazilian music heard in her youth, with particular focus on "the percussion, the melodies, chords - and particularly the poetic juxtaposition of tragedy and beauty held within the lyrics."
