Blank Realm is a musical group from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia active since 2005. The group is composed of sibling members Daniel, Luke and Sarah Spencer and guitarist Luke Walsh. They were described by the Guardian newspaper as having "a sound drawn from krautrock, New York’s no wave, New Zealand’s entire Flying Nun roster, and those closer to home, like the Go-Betweens." The group's music employs pop /rock song structures, but uses elements of improvisation, particularly during live performances
Their 2014 album Grassed Inn was shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize (AMP).
In 2015 the band's album Illegals in Heaven won best album at the Queensland Music Awards. The song "Palace of Love" was the most played track on Double J digital radio that year.
