This week's PBS Feature Album is Turning Yr Back On The Dolphin, the third album by Palm Springs.

Palm Springs is the outsider folk identity of Erica Dunn and an evolving cast of essential collaborators. Born out of a compulsion to write sparse, intimate verse and named for her nervous affliction - sweaty hands - Palm Springs has been a cornerstone of Dunn’s songwriting that sits in a separate interior back room from her other creative outputs (Tropical Fuck Storm, MOD CON, Fiancée, Harmony et al.)
