Today, Boston-based trio Palehound have unveiled a new song/video “Worthy” off their forthcoming album via PAPER Magazine. With “Worthy,” prolific singer/songwriter Ellen Kempner continues to imbue her thoughtful narrative voice on the much-anticipated album Black Friday due out June 7on Polyvinyl Record Co. It speaks to the challenge of navigating self-confidence issues in relationships, and delicately showcases Kempner's lyrical finesse (“And I've won over your mother, darling/And I've won over your sister too/And I won over your father, darling/And I still don't feel worthy of you”).

When the Grammy Nominations were announced, Clint Holmes, one of the most exciting and musically creative entertainers to ever appear on a stage said the following, This is an incredible feeling and a real achievement for everyone who made the album ( Rendezvous ) happen. As you know, this was a long process, and receiving a Grammy nomination is something we really did want, even if we felt we didn't want to jinx our chances by talking about it.
