palettes just released yet another intoxicating single that 2026 was not ready for. “sandstone. (silhouettes)” is a metaphorical single that represents how situations can reshape a person. Sandstone is filled with numerous layers which can represent different versions of yourself throughout life, but sometimes you look back at those older versions and it can cause emotional turmoil.

“This song – “sandstone. (silhouettes)” – is about being drawn to something that doesn’t work, but feeling magnetized to it anyway. It’s an encapsulation of the push and pull we feel when we revisit failed human relationships time and time again, and represents the collision between short-term temporary satisfaction and long-term friction and frustration.” – palettes
