Stream Palehound’s new album, Dry Food

Palehound, Dry Food

Palehound’s Ellen Kempner wears her pain on her sleeve. Dry Food, her first full-length, blazes a thorough, intimate path through her psyche, with tightly constructed twists of phrase accompanying meandering riffs that occasionally topple into controlled chaos. Relentlessly vulnerable but armed with cathartic shredding and a cutting sense of humor, Dry Food, now streaming on NPR Music, is as much an unbridled confessional as carefully crafted beauty painstakingly plucked from deep turmoil.

The record, to be released August 14 on Exploding in Sound.
