Palehound Debuts Animated “Room' Video, New Fall Headline Tour

Lead by fierce vocalist and prolific creative force Ellen Kempner, Boston's Palehound released the critically acclaimed sophomore album, A Place I'll Always Go, on Polyvinyl Record Co. earlier this summer. Today, the band shares the beautifully illustrated music video for album single, "Room," created by Rozalina Burkova premiering via Stereogum.

Of the collaboration, Ellen explains, "I found Rozalina's art randomly on the internet one day and became obsessed. I adore the way she draws bodies and I relate to her characters. I knew that she was perfect for bringing the queer love behind Room to life and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful video." Rozalina echoes the same sentiment, sharing how "working with Ellen on the video is probably my favourite project this year. Her sole requirement for me was to animate a queer love story. So we bounced a few ideas of each other and I think what came out is a pretty intimate but fun romance."

A Place I'll Always Go is a frank look at love and loss, cushioned by indelible hooks and gently propulsive, fuzzed-out rock. The album channels feelings of anxiety - heart-racing moments both exhilarating and crushing - into songs that feel well-worn and comforting. Recorded at Brooklyn's Thump Studios (with the assistance of Gabe Wax), A Place I'll Always Go builds on the promise of Palehound's critically acclaimed 2015 album Dry Food, showcasing songs that breathe Kempner's evolved maturity. Following a handful of headlining dates, Palehound recently kicked off a national tour with Waxahatchee earlier this month, and will continue to tour throughout the fall.
