Empath

Philly's noisy art rock band Empath are set to release their debut full length "Active Listening: Night on Earth" in a couple of weeks, and coming off a successful run through SXSW, they've shard their newest single from said album," Hanging Out of Cars."  Listen below and get the album from Get Better Records.

SXSW 2019 Day 3 Pics

As per usual at SXSW, Monday and Tuesday did not adequately prepare me for how crowded this thing can get.  Monday and Tuesday are always more chill, with fewer elbows to bump into and more room to spread out.  That being said, today was still fun, if not hotter and a tad more claustrophobic (i skipped a set by Sir Babygirl because the small, packed room was just too much).  I saw two absolutely amazing sets from CHAI and Black Midi, hopefully not the last.  Here's some pics...

Noisy Philly band Empath are set to release a new 7" next month via Get Better Records.  "Environments" was conceived as a short project combining elements of warbly pop with natural field recordings and a whole lot of fuzz, with Side-A representing wind and Side-B representing water.  Watch the video for "Polyfoam" (the wind side) below and pre-order the record here.
