"A Reckoning" is taken from @mybandowen's new album, The Falls of Sioux - out April 26, 2024.
Lyrics:
This suitcase still smells like the thrift store I saved it from
Big enough to hold all my shit and then some at twenty-one
But now in my 40s I travel with much more dirty laundry
Hundreds of hotel rooms from Shanghai to the Falls of Sioux know me better than you do
I can’t believe I let your grief rewrite my youth
I’ve doubled the devil and changed my name
I lost a limb and live with the pain
If I get back to Sioux Falls there’s gonna be a reckoning

"Cursed ID" is taken from @mybandowen's new album, The Falls of Sioux - out April 26, 2024.
Lyrics:
I’ve been a rake and I’ve been a fool
I’ve been as of late enfant terrible
Whatever that means
I keep doing my bad “Drunk Billy Bragg” in front of everyone
All the empty pockets in the world
I can’t even afford to sleep on your floor
I’ve got this cursed rope around my neck
and an unquenched thirst to pull on both ends until this all ends
But I won’t and never will
I’m goodbye curious
But I’ve her
and her
and her
and her
and him still
I’ve all the empty pockets in the world
I can’t even afford to complain anymore
I know I’m lucky to even have this coat
Empty pocket and holed
But I’ve got this cursed rope around my neck
Was it worth it?
I can’t explain it…but yes

"Mount Cleverest" is taken from @mybandowen's new album, The Falls of Sioux - out April 26, 2024.
Lyrics:
I’m done climbing Mount Cleverest
I’m done tampering with the evidence
To love and to loathe from this day forward
I’ll only cum on command
More or less (but less)
To love and to loathe
To live without hope from this day forward
To love and to loathe
To live without hope
I promise I’ll resent you the most from this day forward
Let’s raise a toast:
I’m dead inside but the yard looks nice so nobody knows
I’m so glad you all could come
but I’m fucking done

"Qui Je Plaisante?" is taken from @mybandowen's new album, The Falls of Sioux - out April 26, 2024.
Lyrics:
Just tell me how this ends
I’m forgiven?
I’m forgotten?
I’m forsaken?
I’m forever on trial?
I’m still seated at the table?
I’m visited in jail?
I’m just another cautionary tale? (to no one’s surprise)
O, I gotta know if there’s an end
All the time I spent
posing
pretending
posturing
I could’ve learned another language
Or written more songs
I could’ve saved my marriage
Qui je plaisante?
You asked the questions
I answered honestly
What more could I do??
You forbade lies and despised the truth
Just tell me how this ends -
I’m forgiven?
I’m forgotten?
I’m dead?

"Penny" is taken from @mybandowen's new album, The Falls of Sioux - out April 26, 2024.
Lyrics:
A penny for your thoughts
What’s left of my ego, my eyes,
and a lifetime of blind obedience for your love
I’m just dumb enough to beg
Hands and knees and everything short of a diamond ring
I won’t be fooled again
I’m wasting my time chasing your light
A circuitous clown balancing on a wire between two lives
Man, I’m just wasted…
A penny for your thoughts
And quite literally the entirety of my life insurance policy for your love
I hope it’s enough…
You’re so soft spoken you might blow away
You’re so soft spoken you might blow away
You’re so soft spoken that I’m afraid you might blow away
I’m afraid

"With You Without You" is taken from @mybandowen's new album, The Falls of Sioux - out April 26, 2024.
Lyrics:
Tragically, Fate frowned upon me on the day she found my diary
The vulgar contents of my head far too filthy to forgive
I’m so sorry that I’m still sorry
In my middle-age of discovery every mistake’s a luxury
Now I’m with you without you
Famously, Fate left me for dead with two daggered-eyes in a stranger's bed
It was the violence I needed
Only blinded could I see it
In my middle-age of discovery every mistake’s a luxury
So don’t ask me where I’ve been -
I’m home and you and your cat got my tongue again
This is life with an asterisk
This is life now
I’m so sorry about the mess
You don’t have a thing to wear
You can’t take me anywhere but I’m with you without you
I’m with you without you

Lyrics:
Inside your head:
a monsoon of bitters and bourbon
and an undying burden of proof
Inside your heart:
the blackest mood
You’re allowed to lament a life of virtue misspent
It hurts now but you’ll learn how to leave me
Under your breath you always knew it was never you
I know it hurts now but you’ll learn how to leave me

Lyrics:
Your father’s a drunk - best do what you’ve been told, Son
Put your bottles down and run
Don’t stop till you can’t hear Mama cryin’
Do as I mumble, not as I stumble
Or you’ll find yourself kidney deep in my kind of trouble
It was a hit and run
I got away but I have to live each day
with what I’ve done
You’re father was a son once of a bum and a gun and I’m sorry -
a curse I couldn’t outrun
It’s in your blood
It’s in your bones
It’s in every indiscretion that your future holds
Do as I mumble, not as I stumble
Or you’ll find yourself kidney deep in my kind of trouble
It was a hit and run
I got away but the damage is done
It was a hit and run
I got away but I have to live each day
I’d rather be dead
Please, Lord
Take me instead

Lyrics:
I didn’t know ’til I knew I could endure this life in black and white
or intoxicating color with you
Liar / Liar
My eyes are on fire
I can see everything in the backseat of your car
On a dirty floor behind the bar
I can see everything every goddamn night
with the mirror turned just right
I can see everything up against the wall
I’m cuckoo for you, Beaucoup
Liar / Liar
My eyes are on fire again
My mind’s a candle burning at both ends and I can see everything…
I’m cuckoo for you, Beaucoup
Every gunshot at night
Every dream I can’t describe
Every drug I’ve ever tried
If my dad were still alive
is you

Title Design: Neil Spencer
Lyrics:
Girl, when I met you I was a child
Immature, insecure, running just to catch your smile
We took the Mazda to outer space
Lost track of the time but held on to the aftertaste
I fell to your feet
The two of us made a heartbeat
Now all we need is rest
I’m not the first to have you, but I’m the first to know you best – I’m your boyfriend
Down on my knees like a husband would, dishes and the floors like a partner should, took our baby walking through the neighborhood, anything I could to be your boyfriend
Down on my knees like a husband would, dishes and the floors like a partner should, took our baby walking through the neighborhood
What you can’t, I could
Girl, when I saw you I couldn’t stop
Spent the whole summer bumbling around your flower shop
Then you came over without your friend
An overnight stay turned into a weekend
Why me?
Lean on me, make me feel like a man
You can do what you want with your invisible hands – I’m your boyfriend

Director & Post-Production: Nate Kinsella
Dancer: Robin Mineko-Williams
Director of Photography: Chris Strong
Color Assist: Koen Holtcamp
Lyrics:
Look at you
Look at me
We were kids
Carlo Rossi
Celebrate your birthday every Halloween.
I’ve been true to you – no makeup.
But look at this
This routine
We only touch when we’re asleep
Dreamt I was your roommate
Yeah, I could play that part but we all have emotional needs
Show me your emotions
I belong to you and you belong above me
We need a meadow to roll in
We need a fire to start spreading
It catches on, catches on
I belong to you, I hold you up above me
I don’t know what I’m standing on
But I know to keep hanging on
Is this you? Is that me?
Is this how we thought it’d be?
The clock is ticking remember we’re living in a little box on a hill there’s a fence and a treadmill
No one gets in or out anymore since closing the only door
We’re living in the daylight longing for the allure of the darkness
I can change my hair, find some new old clothes to wear, sing in a flawless voice to you
Show me your emotions

Lyrics:
When you think of me
Do you see something inside me that
I could never see
Some amount of miles away
Daydreaming straight into the blaze?
Aaron Carter in a Target screamin’
“Is it a mistake?”
We watched the sunset dreamsmog
Shit out the doom fog
When this song comes on
Put all your clothes on
Count to ten and breathe
Drink some water
When your head starts spinnin’
I tried everything that was easy
Oh, it’s hard soft living
What’s it gonna take
To guide the brush fires to eradicate
Every single trace of these
Scumfuck white supremacist shitlords?
When this song comes on
Burn a police car
To just stay strong is hard
When all you can think of
Is how did we go so wrong?
How did we go so wrong?
How did we go so wrong?
Don’t wanna hold out for the end of the world
Don’t wanna hold out for the end of the world
We watched the sunset dreamsmog
Shit out the doom fog
When this song comes on
Turn all the lights on
Because it’s done
So clean up and try not to think of
How did we go so wrong?
How did we go so wrong?

Lyrics:
Talkin on the phone
In the dark
You’re whisperin for some reason
Like you’re tryin to keep a secret
Locked up safe and sound
Don’t want word to get around
Locked up safe and sound
Don’t want word to get around
Oh i’ve been a mess
Haven’t slept
Started smoking again
And i’m tryin to grow my hair out
But i keep cuttin my bangs
Everytime you say my name
Let me see your hands
Oh where have they been
You’ve been holdin onto hers
You’ve been playin in the dirt
Tangled up with the worms
Locked up safe and sound
Don’t want word to get around
Locked up safe and sound
Don’t want word to get around
Oh i’ve been a mess
Haven’t slept
Started smoking again
And i’m tryin to grow my hair out
But i keep cuttin my bangs
Everytime you say my name
Baby we don’t talk about it
Well i’m tryin to forget it happened
Baby we don’t talk about it
Well i’m tryin to forget it happened
Oh i’ve been a mess
Haven’t slept
Started smoking again
And i’m tryin to grow my hair out
But i keep cuttin my bangs
Everytime you say my name

Lyrics:
It’s hot
Finally summer and we’re
Coming alive again
Spent the winter
Getting paler and we’ve
Got vampire skin
But now the sun’s out
We’re feeling better about
What the days ahead bring
They’re lasting longer
Stopped getting dark before five it’s time to see the ocean
So grab your towel
Get in the car
We’re headed out to rockaway
It isn’t far
Sun shines
Waves crash
Think this might last forever
When we get there
Take our shoes off
And dig our toes in the sand
Stay til sunset
And watch the tide roll out
Receding from the land
By the ocean
Is where i wanna be
When this all comes to an end
Crack a cold one
And watch tsunamis come
Surrounded by my friends
I can feel happy on beach days
There’s always something to get in the way of overthinking everything
Only have to worry about the riptide only have to worry ‘bout the undertow when you’re Going out swimming
When i can feel the sun on my skin when i can taste the salt on my tongue it feels like Nothing can go wrong
Tomorrow we go back to real life so just enjoy the beach tonight i’m glad y’all Came along

TAKE A WALK
DONT WANNA TALK
A DIP IN THE LAKE
MY SPECIAL PLACE
FEELINGS I NEED TO FACE
WANNA FEEL SAFE
I DONT FEEL THAT WAY
FIND MY HOPE

WOULD BE A SIGHT TO SEE

Lyrics:
In the skate park losing my mind
I’ll make it home in time
In the skate park losing my mind
Don’t worry you’re alright
Don’t worry you’re alright
I thought if I told you slowly
You’d be feeling the same way
You’d be feeling the same way
On the roof and I’m breathing you in
In the dead of the summer time
In the parking lot touching your hand
You think I’m way outta line
Take a hit and we fall in the sand
Late july we got plenty of time
I thought if I touched you slowly
You’d be feeling the same way
You’d be feeling the same way
I thought if i told you slowly
You’d be feeling the same way
You’d be feeling the same way
You’d be feeling the same way
You’d be feeling the same way
You’d be feeling
You’d be feeling

Lyrics:
I stopped writing you down
As my emergency contact
I bet you’re glad that you don’t have
To come runnin
Everytime i fall back
The light it out in my kitchen
But i’m still washin the dishes
Avoiding all existence
And it gets so dark sometimes
But I keep you out of sight
Not read to see what i’m missin
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t wanna get it right
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t wanna get it right
This time
I cry cry cry in the shower
Tears and water
Are no different
And i could call you i know you’d listen
But i keep you at a safe distance
Park my car
On your street
I heard that song and had to scream
I made too many enemies
So i’ll leave this city
Or keep runnin
No slowin down or givin in
At least until the drugs kick in
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t wanna get it right
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t wanna get it right
This time
I watched you like an instant classic
Memorized every line, every scene
Act it out in my sleep
Rewind and repeat
Someone else can watch you now
Cuz it can’t be me
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t wanna get it right
I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I don’t wanna get it right
This time

Lyrics:
She looks so pretty tonight
Blue dress in the alley light
I was gonna take her out tonight
But all her favorite spots closed down
She knows how these things go
In line for a radio
I could never take things slow
Maybe that’s why she loves me
She says she wants to go far
Outta town in my beat up car
Will she find another man who can take her there
When my drive burns out?
She knows how these things go
On air at the radio
I could never take things slow
Maybe that’s why she loves me
I’m taping scratch tickets up
Flying in the evening wind
She says i’m wasting my time
But she knows one day I’ll win
She looks so pretty tonight
Blue dress in the alley light
I was gonna take her out tonight
But all her favorite spots closed down
She knows how these things go
In line at the radio
I could never take it slow
Maybe that’s why she loves me

Lyrics:
In the backseat
On the highway
Going 105
You’re lookin in the rearview
You got the clearview
You want me for your whole life
I know i’m not makin sense
I know i stop mid sentence
And pretend i forget
What i’m gonna say
It’s cuz i’m afraid
It’s cuz i’m afraid
But if you
Kiss me like you mean it
Kiss me like you’re leavin
You’re spit tastes different
Kiss me like you mean it
Make me believe it
Make me believe it
In the distance
There’s somethin missin
Tongue tied like a knot
Can’t get the words out
I need a minute
Or a million
To tell you how i’m feelin now
I know i’m not makin sense
I know i stop mid sentence
And pretend i forget
What i’m gonna say
It’s cuz i’m afraid
This will all go away
But if you
Kiss me like you mean it
Kiss me like you’re leavin
You’re spit tastes different
Kiss me like you mean it
Make me believe it
Make me believe it

@ChristopherFarren's new album, Doom Singer - out August 4, 2023.
1. Bluish (0:00)
2. All We Ever (3:12)
3. Get Over U (6:25)
4. Only U (9:23)
5. Doom Singer (13:25)
6. Screensaver (16:44)

8. My Beauty (22:03)
9. Cosmic Leash (24:26)
10. Statue Song (29:07)
Ask Chris Farren how he feels when he finishes an album and he won’t hesitate to respond with: “Miserable. Miserable. Miserable.”
At least, that’s how it’s been over the years he’s been writing and recording solo. When the time came to make a record, Farren would be overtaken by an unparalleled anxiety, forcing him into the home studio he describes as “barely bigger than a closet,” where he agonized over the minute details of his work in progress. “Looking back on those records… I have no good memories of making them,” he admits. “It’s always been a lonely, doubt-ridden process.”
After releasing Born Hot in 2019, Farren knew he needed to make changes to the creative process, but he wasn’t yet sure how to. Enter Frankie Impastato, drummer of Macseal, who Farren met on tour and who became one of his dearest friends and confidants. He told Impastato about the misery, the barely-bigger-than-a-closet studio, the barren memory chest, and together they hatched a plan: they’d make Farren’s next album together. So, Farren got in touch with multi-instrumentalist/producer, and Jay Som mastermind, Melina Duterte (also, a Polyvinyl labelmate), who invited him by her studio where she’s collaborated with a steady stream of notable artists since first opening it in 2020. That’s where Doom Singer, his new full-length album, would be made.
“Looking back, I feel bad, because Melina brought me in to show me her space and was describing the gear to me and I was totally checked out,” Farren says. “I mean, the space is amazing, she’s super talented, but I told her: ‘I don’t care about any of this stuff. I just want to make a record with you and have fun. I want to make a record and have a good time.’”
The choruses on Doom Singer are all like this, huge, cathartic, catchy as hell, and inspired by what Farren describes as the “sixties-tinged girl group vibe, not retro, but playful” employed by Belle and Sebastian. “First Place” is a shining example, a song Farren describes as being about worrying you might grow apart from your partner and, “Not being able to cum because of Lexapro.” It’s hard to describe the single as anything but “jaunty,” the buoyancy of Farren’s delivery belying any sense of disquiet humming beneath its surface.
Farren says Doom Singer communicates an “optimistic nihilism,” and that lyrically, he’s trying to embrace nuances inspired by films like TÁR and I’m Thinking of Ending Things. “In these movies, the truth of the narrative isn’t handed to you, and it’s not easy to figure out where your sympathies should lie,” he says. Against certainty, Doom Singer opens with a confession. “I don’t remember how to do this,” Farren croons on “Bluish,” admitting to feeling codependent in his marriage, worried he is too much to manage, that his neuroses might disrupt a delicate domestic balance. It was the first song he wrote for the album and the one that determined its narrative course. We’re made to believe aging makes you wiser, but as Farren has grown into the prodigious songwriter you hear on Doom Singer, he’s only grown less certain.
“I’m constantly processing the way I feel about things, and I didn’t want any of these songs to sound sure of themselves, or to communicate any clear message. There will be struggle in everything. I’ll always be fighting with myself, and I need to find a certain peace with that,” he says, but on Doom Singer, Farren rejects closure, and he’s still seeking that sense of peace. Maybe we all are, whether we’re bold enough to sing about it or not.

Lyrics:
I never thought I’d say it
But it’s hard to hate the rain in California
The air is cold and blurry
As it presses the pine needles to your car
Tumbleweeds roll through the parking lots
of shopping malls and supermarkets
Everyone is inside
Watching movies on their TV’s
Staying warm
The street outside is flashing
Underneath infrequent bursts of glaring headlights
Moving like a glacier
or careening like a drunkard towards the trees
Flick my shitty lighter and pull smoke
From the one-hitter on the doorstep
Blow into the fog and listen to
The paradiddles on the leaves
When it’s gone the air will clear
and we’ll have so much more to see
The stores will be filled up with people
Trying to buy their groceries
For now i’m standing in the moonlight
Wondering when will this all be over
I’m wondering if it really doesn’t matter
What I do or what I say
I’m wondering if the neighborhood coyotes
Found a good place to take cover
And if it’s gonna be another fourteen months
Before it really rains
When it’s gone the air will clear
And we’ll have so much more to see
The construction will continue
And the power tools will screech
And cars will cram the street
And that’s just fine with me
‘Cause I will stay will with you
Not do a single thing all day with you
And hunker down after the storm is through
Perfect lazy days
Where all you need is me
And all I need is you
Perfect chatty days
Where all you need is me
And all I need is you
Perfect rainy days
Where all you need is me
And all I need is you
Perfect lazy days
Where all you need is me
And all I need is you, you

Lyrics:
Kick you when you're down
Kick you when you're down
Can’t get much lower now
I’m sitting in the drain
Can’t get much lower now
I’m sitting in the drain
When a plant is dying
It throws down seeds for growing
Not saying you’re dying
But I saw you throw them down
Not saying you’re dying
But I saw you throw them down
There must be more to life
Than being on time
These days it takes a sunrise
To remember you’re alive
When a plant is dying
Throws down seeds for growing
I’m not saying i’m dying
But i’m throwing seeds for growing
I’m not dying
But I’m throwing them to the wind
I’m throwing them to the wind
Throwing them to the wind

No it doesn’t pay
Never wanted to be someone’s wife
Give up my whole life
Give up my whole life
So I try to be brave in the crowd
But i’m on my knees now
Yeah i’m on my knees now
Yeah i’m on my knees now

@palehoundsounds heavy-hitting new album, Eye On The Bat - out July 14, 2023.
1. Good Sex (0:00)
2. Independence Day (1:41)
3. The Clutch (5:20)
4. Eye On The Bat (8:30)
5. U Want It U Got It (11:26)
6. Route 22 (13:55)
7. My Evil (17:46)
8. Head Like Soup (20:10)
9. Right About You (23:39)
10. Fadin’ (26:14)
Palehound's songwriting has always been generous and personal, dispatches from a deep inner world. On Eye On The Bat, though, we meet El Kempner anew: a guttural howl; white-hot and blistering catharsis; a feverish and visceral and painful present. The record charts something that divides you into “before” and “after.” It’s a documentation of illusions shattering, the danger of fantasy, of heartbreak, and the pain of growth. A tangle of raw nerves coming undone amongst swelling, propulsive instrumentation.
Recorded in brief stints across 2022 at Flying Cloud Recordings in the Catskills, the space between each session gave Kempner more time to breathe, to revisit the songs after time away. Kempner co-produced Eye On The Bat alongside Sam Owens (Big Thief, Cass McCombs), who was also crucial to the process -- lending assistance yet allowing Kempner to take the reins on producing, to call the shots on the session and step into their own as a producer.
Kempner also credits multi-instrumentalist Larz Brogan, who they refer to as “their platonic life partner” and longtime member of Palehound since the Boston DIY days, as a vital part of making the album come together the way it did. They make Kempner feel seen - allow them to be vulnerable, to experiment, to push themself in the studio. After playing together for so many years, Brogan and Kempner both wanted to push themselves to make a record that sounded less produced, one that simply captured the raw energy of Palehound live.
Opening track “Good Sex” charts trying to make a relationship work, the desperation to recapture something, in searing detail; before dissolving into “Independence Day,” its chaotic counterpart, where you realize you can’t and find yourself breaking someone’s heart in the glow of fireworks. “The Clutch” flies by red flags, plunging forward even though it shouldn’t, even though it’s speeding toward heartbreak; while “My Evil” is about being the heartbreaker, hurting someone you never could have imagined hurting. Accepting that, even if unintentional, we all act as villains in someone else’s story.
The poetry is still present – full of aching and shrine-building to minutiae – but it feels genuinely diaristic and authentic. In the past, Kempner admits to hiding behind poetic notions, burying the hurt in metaphors. But here, El’s at their most open and vulnerable.
Eye On The Bat is not a hopeful record in content, but it’s immediately recognizable as the sort of totem you come out clutching on the other side of profound change. It’s cerebral, trying to make sense of grief in a grocery store or an argument in a parking lot, plumbing the anxious depths of the interiors. It feels like a promise to yourself – if you made it through that, you’ll handle whatever comes next.
