Tim Palm, a rising force in the electronic music world, makes an impressive debut with The Unknown Sea, a deeply immersive album that blends house music’s sophistication with the raw pulse of human emotion. Known for his ability to reinvigorate the fundamentals of house subculture, Palm has already built a global audience, boasting over 110,000 followers and 60 million views. With this album, Palm solidifies his presence in the scene, creating a body of work that thrives on connection, creativity, and exploration.
The Unknown Sea is an intricate voyage through electronic landscapes, pushing the boundaries of what house music can achieve emotionally. Palm set out to create without the burden of expectation, letting intuition guide the process. “It was just about following the intuition and the creative force,” says Palm, and that sense of organic creation flows throughout the album’s 10 tracks. From live sets to impromptu jams, each song feels like it’s captured in a moment of pure creativity.
Recorded across a range of locations, including Palm’s private studio, Zoom sessions, and Stockholm’s Fashionpolice Studios, the album’s production reflects its boundary-dissolving theme. Final touches were applied at the famed Svenska Grammofonstudion in Gothenburg, where the album was mixed to perfection, capturing the essence of each sound.
The album features previously released singles like “New Person” and “Me,” both of which fit seamlessly into the album’s overall narrative. However, the standout new track “The One” is a true highlight, combining pulsating beats with melodic undercurrents that echo the tension between the familiar and the unknown. As a whole, The Unknown Sea carries listeners through varying depths—at times calming, at times invigorating, but always filled with a sense of discovery.
What sets The Unknown Sea apart is Palm’s dedication to dissolving genre lines and embracing the uncertainty of where music can take you. “The title of the album represents the start of my journey as the artist Tim Palm and the fantastic uncertainty of what’s to come,” Palm explains. This sentiment is palpable in each track, where the listener is invited not just to dance, but to feel deeply and explore new emotional territories.
