Prolific powerhouse Ellen Kempner aka Palehound released their critically acclaimed sophomore album, ‘A Place I’ll Always Go,’ last year via Polyvinyl Record Co. The album graced many year-end lists including Rob Sheffield’s Rolling Stone Top 20 Albums, Digital Trends 50 Best Albums and The Wild Honey Pie Top 100 Songs. Now, in the new Carnations video, Kempner leads a bad-ass girl group of incredibly talented performers. The clip was directed by Robert Kolodny / House of Nod, with choreography by Jessica Jaunich. Check it out via YouTube below.
Palehound also recently released their new ‘YMCA Pool‘ 7″ via Saddle Creek. Kempner co-produced the release alongside Alicia Bognanno of Bully, who also engineered the tracks last summer in Nashville.
Having ended 2017 with a US headlining tour (which saw shows with Big Thief, Jay Som, Mitski, M Ward, and more), the band is in the midst of a co-headlining tour with Weaves, which comes to NYC’s Brooklyn Bazaar tonight. (see dates here or below).
