Touché Amoré released their fourth studio album with Epitaph Records , titled Stage Four, which debuted on September 16, 2016. The title of the album takes on a double meaning, hinting at both the fact that it’s the band’s fourth full-length album, and also the highest level of cancer staging —a reference to the fact that Bolm’s mother died of cancer in 2014. Coinciding with the album’s announcement in June 2016, the band released the track “Palm Dreams” for online streaming. The track is about Bolm realizing he will never fully understand why his mom moved to California in the 1970s. He said, “I assume that because she was from a small town, her eyes were wide with the concept of Hollywood. I’m sure someone else in my family could tell me, but it wouldn’t be her answer. If this song inspires anyone to ask the questions they’ve never asked their loved ones, I’d call it a success.”
