Lost in the noise of grief and isolation, he\u2019s pulled back from the brink when he sees a vivid, grounding vision of his late father.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jesson moved away from the kind of music that once defined him in the wake of his father\u2019s death, until Fontaines D.C. invited him on tour and reignited his passion for introspective, raw songwriting.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Volatile Child\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iU1ruoVwIag?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Palma Violets\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/palma-violets-fans-worried-band-split-1790137\">quietly split in 2016<\/a> after releasing two albums, 2013\u2019s \u2018180\u2019 and 2015\u2019s \u2018Danger In The Club\u2019, and Jesson went on to form new band Crewel Intentions.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/listen-debut-single-palma-violets-big-moon-members-new-band-2353056\">The band\u2019s Sam Fryer, Will Doyle, and Peter Mayhew later teamed up with The Big Moon\u2019s Celia Archer, plus guitarist Adam Brown as Gently Tender<\/a> in 2018.\u00a0That year, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/blogs\/nme-blogs\/crewel-intentions-palma-violets-chilli-jesson-interview-2394702\">we spoke to Jesson about his time in Palma Violets and how it differed from his work with Crewel Intentions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think, with Palma Violets\u2026 I was so young.
