Palehound Return With First Album in Nearly Four Years

Palehound, the project led by El Kempner, has announced its fifth album, *You Sing Like You’re Joking*, alongside the release of new single “Natural Disasters”. The record explores changing relationships and community in the DIY music scene, and marks the band’s first full-length release in nearly four years.

The nine-track album is due on 5 February via Polyvinyl and was co-produced by Kempner, Julian Fader and Katie Von Schleicher, with contributions from Nick Hakim. “Natural Disasters” reflects on friendship and holding grudges amid a bleak-feeling future; its video was directed by Rachel Brown of Water From Your Eyes and filmed during a nor’easter.
