Black Belt Eagle Scout is the project of Katherine Paul, blending guitar-driven indie rock with reflective, often nature-inspired lyricism. Emerging from a 2014 self-titled EP, the project gained wider attention with the 2017 release Mother of My Children, later reissued by Saddle Creek in 2018. The subsequent albums—The Land, The Water, The Sky (2023, Saddle Creek)—and the 2019 album At the Party with My Brown Friends solidified Paul as a distinctive voice in contemporary indie music. Her sound continually weaves punk energy with spacious arrangements and intimate storytelling, rooted in Indigenous and Pacific Northwest influences. For fans and newcomers alike, Black Belt Eagle Scout offers a thoughtful, immersive listening experience that translates powerfully to live performances.
