Palehound is the indie rock project led by vocalist/guitarist Ellen Kempner (they/them). What started as a solo experiment has grown into a formidable touring band renowned for its raw, guitar-forward textures and intimate, lo-fi sensibilities. Kempner describes Palehound’s sound as "journal rock"—songs that capture candid thoughts and moments with a candid, driving energy. Based in Boston, Palehound has made a name for itself with tight live performances and a distinctive DIY spirit that resonates with fans across the indie scene.
