palace at 4am is an up and coming dunedin four-piece fronted by singer/guitarist emma milburn, along with arc life sound-man supremo thomas bell (bass – also currently in david kilgour‘s heavy eights), gregg cairns (percussion) and lesley paris (ex-look blue go purple / flying nun label-head – drums).
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 sculpturern- emma milburn; taken from nzepc’s interview.
milburn also composes for the intrueing palo/ona, who released their debut album star of the sea in 1999, with palace at 4am’s debut expected sometime in 2004.
