Palace’s fifth album Ox arrives entirely on the band’s own terms, marking a new era of independence shaped by the freedom to write songs for no one else but themselves. An instinctual, open-hearted response from a band to their changing lives, channeling their signature dreamlike textures into songs that feel more alive with emotion than ever before.

Across 10 warm, sprawling songs, the album embraces a more instinctive and organic approach. Following 2025’s Greyhound EP, Ox places renewed emphasis on dynamics and space, with highlights including lead single “Kid”, an affirmation of love written about longing for one’s child while on the road.
