Palehound are releasing their new album Eye On The Bat next month. We’ve already written about its lead single “The Clutch” and follow-up “My Evil.” Today, El Kempner is back with another album preview called “Independence Day,” which also comes with a video.

“The ending of a relationship that spanned the majority of my twenties illuminated a forked road that daunted me,” Kempner shares of “Independence Day.” “In the aftermath of our breakup, I found myself dwelling on what that other life would have been like and who I would have become had we chosen differently, or even if circumstance or tragedy had chosen for us.”

Listen and watch below.
