With their latest album, Eye On The Bat, Palehound have unleashed a sonic tour de force that cements their status as one of the most exciting and forward-thinking artists in indie rock. Recorded with Sam Owens (Big Thief, Cass McCombs) at Flying Cloud Recordings in the Catskill Mountains, the album is a breathtaking showcase of artistic growth and evolution, with songwriter El Kempner (as well as multi-instrumentalist Larz Brogan) delivering a stunning batch of new songs that brim with energy, vulnerability, and raw emotion. From the explosive guitar riffs to the thunderous drumming and Kempner's signature vocals, Eye On The Bat is the most thrilling and exhilarating album Palehound has made to date. The album's sharp and introspective lyrics explore themes of self-discovery, anxiety, and empowerment, adding a layer of depth and nuance to the album’s uncompromising vision.

In addition to Kempner’s recent work with Bachelor (a collaborative project with Jay Som), Palehound has earned widespread critical acclaim in outlets such as The New York Times, Pitchfork, and NPR, which praised their unique sound and fearless artistic direction. Palehound's has played around the world alongside some of the biggest names in indie rock, including Big Thief, Sylvan Esso, Lucy Dacus, PUP and more. Kempner’s passionate and introspective songwriting has struck a chord with fans and peers around the world, cementing Palehound’s status as a deeply admired and widely influential artist.

The old musix of @midnight-riott made in Logic.

Explosively expatriated from the farmlands of Ohio, singer-songwriter Doli Stepniewski breathes mischievous spirit into creative alter-ego, DareDevilDale. Known for effusive hooks and anthemic power-pop melodies, he creates vivid tales of love and catastrophe… fit for the pages of a graphic novel. Each song pulls equally from Stepniewski’s own experiences as both an accomplished touring musician (Owsley, Amy Grant, Under The Big Top) and a successful tech entrepreneur. The result is an accessible yet divergent sound delivered with a wink and nod to musical superheroes Stewart Copeland, Gordon Sumner, Andy Summers, Stuart Adamson and John Taylor.

A multi-genre project in music production. Retro to experimental.

The band is a bunch of Nashville based creatives who got together in 2016 because we love making music. That's it. No grand plan. Just pure joy. It saved each and every one of us at some point…

The lineup shifts. Always has. Always will We're all road-tested players, but when we get together, something clicks. We've morphed multiple times over the past decade - from cutting tracks with Steve Albini in Chicago to calling ourselves an "ingredients company" now. Who knows what we'll be next…

The faces change, the sound evolves, but the core stays the same: we create music for no other reason than we have to. In a town obsessed with the next big thing, we just wander down whatever musical road opens up. No agenda. No pressure.

That's what bonds us - this shared understanding that music creation is its own reward. We're following where it leads us, one song at a time.
