15. Touché Amoré — Palm Dreams (Youth Code Remix)
Palm Dreams is from Stage Four (2016), Touché Amoré's fourth album. Stage Four was written by vocalist Jeremy Bolm about the death of his mother from cancer. It is one of the most direct and unguarded records in hardcore punk — grief documented in real time.
Youth Code are Sarah Taylor and Jeremy O'Sullivan, an industrial and synth-punk duo from Los Angeles. Their remix transforms Palm Dreams into something more mechanical and confrontational — grief filtered through industrial noise.
Opens the punk run. The remix context is the TikTok story.
Touché Amoré are a Los Angeles post-hardcore band. Stage Four (2016) documents frontman Jeremy Bolm's grief following his mother's death from cancer. "Skyscraper" is the penultimate track on the album, featuring guest vocals from Julien Baker, and marks a significant shift in register with singing rather than the band's usual delivery. The Kerry McCoy Remix appears on Stage Four (10th Anniversary Edition), released 10 April 2026. McCoy is the lead guitarist of Deafheaven. The remix is the final track on the 4-disc deluxe vinyl edition. Placement: opens the closing segment as the TikTok track.
TikTok angle: Stage Four (2016) documents Jeremy Bolm's grief after his mother died of cancer; track eleven, "Skyscraper," features Julien Baker. Ten years later, Deafheaven guitarist Kerry McCoy remixed it — that's the version played on the show. Delivery: don't rush past "his mother died of cancer," let the Deafheaven remix detail sit as the unexpected turn, close quietly.
Touché Amoré — Flowers and You
Played: 2026-08-13
Touché Amoré are a Los Angeles post-hardcore band formed 2007, fronted by vocalist Jeremy Bolm. "Flowers and You" (3:34) opens Stage Four, released 16 September 2016 on Epitaph Records — the title referencing both the band's fourth album and stage-four cancer. The album is dedicated to the memory of Bolm's mother, who died aged 69 after a battle with cancer in 2014; per interviews, Bolm received news of her death after a show in Gainesville, Florida on Halloween 2014, and her death is the central theme of the album's lyrics.
