Rising Virginia trio Palmyra has roots in the South, their music steeped in the sounds of traditional instruments and shaped by their time there, but their spirit defies easy categorization. Palmyra is a band that confronts complex topics. Their songs, which shift from folk to post-rock and even flirt with emo, reflect a band unafraid to push boundaries. In this way, Palmyra joins the ranks of Southern acts like Julien Baker, Band of Horses, and Cat Power—artists who’ve redefined what it means to come from the South, offering a sound that’s as expansive and evolving as the region itself. In 2024, Palmyra submitted their track “Shape I’m In’ to NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, which led NPR to name them one of their ‘Best New Artists’.
