Charlie Hilton - Palana (Captured Tracks) 2016
7
Charlie Hilton is better known for her work in the band Blouse, now she steps into her own thing. Palana is her debut album and as said in a press release: “Palana‘s overarching theme can be summed up by a quote from Hermann Hesse’s Steppenwolf, a phrase Hilton cites as a personal mantra: “Man is not by any means of fixed and enduring form…he is much more an experiment and a transition…” With that in mind, it seems like Hilton wanted to express herself in another outlet and experiment with different sounds and moods. Much of Blouse’s music is regarded as being reminiscent of the 80’s, and Palana has that approach as well. Although it’s not that different from what she has done before, Palana is neat and catchy.
