Palehound are releasing their new album Eye On The Bat in July, and last month we got its lead single "The Clutch." Today, they're back with the self-eviscerating track "My Evil," which El Kempner explained as such:
"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. 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 track's lyric video is an homage to The Sopranos opening credits. Check it out below.
