Fresh Palehound tracks for your deserving ears. Ahead of tomorrow's national tour kickoff with Big Thief, Ellen Kempner lends her poetic point of view, in a way that is both relatable and empowering, to a new digital 7" titled Your Boyfriend's Gun. She brazenly delivers a thoughtful take on the conversation of guns and protection explaining, ""Your Boyfriend's Gun" is about loving people who love men with guns. it’s about the conversation of what protection is, how a person can claim they’re protecting and caring for you when they are putting you in harm’s way in ways they can’t process." The b-side that follows is a brutal rendition of Yo La Tengo's "Autumn Sweater". Your Boyfriend's Gun is streaming now on all your favorite digital outlets and available for download via the Polyvinyl store.

The Boston-based powerhouse trio’s live show takes audiences on a journey of intimate vocals, intricate guitar and a feeling of exhilarating and empowering community. Their third full-length Black Friday, released in June of this year, is a meditation on love, gender, body image and self acceptance. Catch them on tour - tickets onsale now:
