Now, Palehound is thrilled to share “Fadin’” (Live at First Congregational Church), a song that appeared on their lauded 2023 Eye On The Bat.

Palehound’s hotly anticipated, critically acclaimed album Eye On The Bat was released last summer on Polyvinyl Record Co. to acclaim critical acclaim. Kempner was also dubbed one of Rolling Stone’s “250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". They have shared stages with boygenius, Jimmy Eat World, Jason Isbell, Tomberlin, Lucy Dacus, Mitski and Big Thief.
