Palehound shares new single, "My Evil", which comes with a video inspired by the intro of The Sopranos.

Following on from lead single “The Clutch”, which was released last month, El Kempner unleashes new album cut “My Evil” alongside a lyric video that pays homage to cult favourite, The Sopranos.

“"My Evil" is about the extremely humbling experience of realizing that yes, you are the asshole. I found myself acting in ways I was ashamed of, and realizing how capable I was of hurting somebody when I was trying so hard not to," says Palehound. "Sometimes when you try so hard to be a “good person” you’re actually swinging so far and recklessly that you make a full circle back to being a shithead. It can be very hard to forgive yourself, and this song is a portrait of that struggle for me.”

The Sopranos is a show that's been constantly on loop in my life for the past few years,” shares Kempner about the video’s inspiration. “When I got the idea to make a video based on the intro credits of Tony driving through Jersey, I knew I had to do it with my friend Richard Orofino. He's possibly even a bigger Sopranos fan than I am and he did an incredible job mapping out a lot of the original locations from the show, including Tony's house that we see at the end of the video. This whole thing was super DIY, just me and Richard (and his camcorder) having the time of our lives and being embarrassing superfans. It's not exactly shot for shot of the original but, to brag for a sec, I'm truly amazed at how close we were able to get it.”

"My Evil" is out now. Palehound's fourth solo album, Eye On The Bat, arrives on 14 July via Polyvinyl Record Co and is available to pre-order.
