As Palehound, El Kempner’s guitar playing – their sinewy and off-kilter riffs – has always been front and center across the project’s discography. Introspection has threaded together Kempner’s songwriting, the bruising aftermath of trying times, since the very beginning.
Since Palehound’s critically-acclaimed debut album ‘Dry Food’, El Kempner’s songwriting has always been generous and personal, dispatches from a deep inner world.
Palehound’s new album ‘Eye On The Bat’ charts something that divides you into “before” and “after” – the danger of fantasy, of heartbreak, and the pain of growth. A tangle of raw nerves coming undone amongst swelling, propulsive instrumentation, it’s the biggest – and best – Palehound has sounded on record.
