“'Derelict Palace' is about watching someone that you care about disappear into drug addiction," guitarist Rich Jones explains. “I had been listening to a lot of post-punk when I wrote it - Echo & The Bunnymen, Psychedelic Furs, The Church - and I wanted to see if we could push the band in that kind of musical direction."
“The song was written about people who get a little too into drugs and before you know it, they kind of disappear from all of the people and things that they used to love,” adds Monroe. “Of course, that’s sad, but that said, there’s something cool about being an outcast and not fitting in… This is one of my favorite songs off the ‘I Live Too Fast To Die Young’ album and it adds a nice new dimension to my band’s sound and style. Plus, we found the perfect place to film the video for it!”
Monroe recorded his tenth studio set at Inkfish Studios in Helsinki, Finland between November and December 2021.
