Mount Palomar ft. Enola Gay – Feeding Frenzy
Mount Palomar has released “Feeding Frenzy”, the title track from his new EP, made with fellow Belfast band Enola Gay. The EP arrives alongside the single and includes remixes from Bristol’s Hodge and Glasgow producer LWS. It’s the latest release from a producer who’s been building a head of steam — recent support slots include Fat Dog at the 4,000-capacity Aviva Studios in Manchester, Maruja on their European tour, and Warmduscher.
The backstory behind “Feeding Frenzy” is bleak and specific. Mount Palomar had returned to Belfast to finish the final single for the EP when he was assaulted by venue security at a club where he regularly performed, then attacked again on the street moments later. He ended up being driven home in a police car. The next day he met Enola Gay’s lead singer Fionn Reilly and recorded the vocals. “Feeding Frenzy took on a visceral urgency,” Palomar says, “amplifying the song’s themes of escalation, anger, and brutality.” That context is audible in the track — this is breakbeat electronica with a confrontational edge, genre-bending in the way the press material claims but earning the description rather than just inheriting it. Reilly’s vocal performance hits hard in the right places.
The video, directed and produced by Palomar himself, draws parallels with Belfast’s violent history while staying grounded in something more immediate and personal. The EP’s other tracks fill out the picture: Hodge takes “Pass the Parcel” (ft. Makeshift Art Bar) and rebuilds its post-punk vocals and acid basslines into a straight 4/4 club track, while LWS reshapes the BBC Radio 6 Music A-listed “Little Fractures” (ft. Pip Blom) into something more leftfield. What I find interesting about the package is how the remixes aren’t just filler — they reframe what Palomar’s doing by showing how the material holds up when handed to producers working in different registers.
The collaboration with Enola Gay runs deeper than this single: Palomar is currently producing the band’s debut album. They’re also joining him at the 100 Club in London on April 2 for the EP launch. Mount Palomar has also been booked to close both the Spiegeltent and the Main Stage at Haldern Pop Festival in Germany (August 6–8).
