If you haven’t yet seen burgeoning Boston trio Palehound play a show around town, you’re doing it wrong. After moving here from New York in August of 2014, frontwoman Ellen Kempner has quickly made a name for her project opening for various touring acts around the city, as well as hitting the road with Speedy Ortiz this past spring.

Part winding and witty narrative, part Malkmus-esque knotty riff, and all completely unique, Kempner’s debut LP, slated for an August 14 release, has quickly become one of the most anticipated LPs of the year, in the local scene and beyond. Listen to the scintillating first single, “Molly” below, and pre-order Dry Food via Exploding in Sound here.
