After years marked by touring and a major personal upheaval, Palaye Royale announces its sixth studio album, Amsterdamage, due January 22, 2027 via Sumerian Records / Virgin Music Group. Produced by Chris Greatti (YUNGBLUD, Poppy, blink-182), the record is unveiled today with a first preview, “Lost In Translation”!
Formed in 2008 by the three brothers Remington Leith (vocals), Sebastian Danzig (guitar) and Emerson Barrett (drums), Palaye Royale now claims over a billion streams. With “Lost In Translation,” the band draws from their British rock influences of the mid-2000s, while expressing a desire to hold onto a dream or a relationship despite the odds: “We felt a strong nostalgia while writing this track. It brought us back to the music we grew up with, including many British rock bands from the mid-2000s,” explains Remington Leith. “We wanted an upbeat track that would be a hit in concert, but whose lyrics convey this irresistible urge to make something work, whether it’s a dream or a relationship, even when everything seems to oppose it.”
The album was written throughout 2025, amid tours, and took shape along the coast of San Diego and in the Pays-Bas before being finalized in Los Angeles at Chris Greatti‘s studio. But Amsterdamage also marks a particularly personal milestone for the three brothers. In 2024, they lost their mother, Stephanie Rachel, to cancer. A central figure in their journey and a staunch supporter of the band, she had passed on the belief that art is something no one could ever take away from them.
“I think that if we hadn’t had this album, we would have all but drifted apart,” confides Emerson Barrett. “After the loss of our mother, she became our phoenix rising from the ashes. Each of us carved our own path to cope with her death, and then we came back together not only as individuals, but also with our partners, and as brothers. It is this creative bond that has kept us united.”
To promote Amsterdamage, Palaye Royale will also embark on a new world tour. The European leg will begin in spring 2027 and will include a stop at the Olympia in Paris on April 8, 2027. Tickets will go on pre-sale on October 7 at 10:00 here, before the general sale on October 9 at 10:00.
With Amsterdamage, Palaye Royale is thus poised to open a new chapter, both musically and deeply personal, driven by an album born of a period of change and by the desire to transform adversity into creative energy.
