Palehound’s new album Eye On The Bat, is a documentation of illusions shattering in the face of profound change. Witnessing the tiny details that build or break a relationship, and the flood that comes after. The new record was announced alongside an intimate and electrifying new video for lead single “The Clutch”.
Back in 2021, Palehound leader El Kempner teamed up with Jay Som’s Melina Duterte to release a full-length collaboration as Bachelor, Doomin’ Sun. The most recent Palehound album is 2019’s Black Friday, which we named Album Of The Week at the time. Today, Kempner is back with news of a new Palehound album called Eye On The Bat, which will be out in July. Lead single “The Clutch” is a rush of satisfyingly mangled goodness, with Kempner delivering the song’s central refrain (“It’s a punch in the gut”) with curdled enthusiasm.
