We named palace at 4am from the Alberto Giacometti sculpture of that name. i kind of like the links with the futurist/surrealist art movements and, with music, the whole space/time thing…” “…so some of my lyrics come from this and, in the case of my song the palace at 4am, there’s a direct quote from Giacometti’s comment on his sculpture
