Palehound, the indie rock project that beautifully encapsulates the acumen of singer-songwriter and guitarist Ellen Kempner, has discerningly carved out a distinct space in the alternative music scene. Kempner, who started the project in 2014, quickly gained recognition for her insightful lyricism, dynamic guitar work, and a lo-fi sound that melds elements of grunge and folk. The outfit's immersive narratives often tackle themes of personal growth, vulnerability, and the complexities of identity and relationships.

Over the years, Palehound has released a string of evocative albums and EPs that showcase Kempner's intimate storytelling and sonic evolution. With fresh releases like "Eye On The Bat" and the nostalgic musings of "Independence Day," Palehound continues to enamor listeners with an authentic and reflective approach to music-making. Their collaborative album "Doomin' Sun" with fellow indie artist Jay Som under the moniker Bachelor, is another testament to Kempner's versatility and the esteem in which they are held within the indie music community. Tunes like "Anything at All" and "See A Light" further highlight the project's ability to blend poignant lyrics with irresistibly engaging melodies, ensuring Palehound's place among the most compelling voices of contemporary indie rock.
