EP. 59 - Palehound Fixes Their 'Eye On The Bat' With Their Forth LP Aug 03, 2023

Show notes

We sat down with El Kempner of Palehound to discuss their newly released album ‘Eye on The Bat’. We dive into how El has continued to develop their songwriting prose throughout the years, opting to be more themselves than ever by striving for a new level of honesty in their writing. Our conversation covers the process of starting to get attention for their music at a young age, and the imposter syndrome that comes with it. We speak in-depth about the tracking and mixing process of course, hearing how the band achieved the uniquely personal ‘live’ feel with this record. But we also discuss El’s journey in confronting the idea that as an artist “you ARE the product you are selling. El shares what it’s like coming to terms with the consequences of putting too much energy into thinking about what you’re “supposed to be” - not only as a songwriter and performer, but as a human being. Additional topics covered include:
6:46 - El’s mindset going into the record
9:49 - How the songs came together - heartbreak coinciding with the writing process
19:20 - You are the product you’re selling - choosing whether to come out as non-binary on the record
29:00 - The tracking process and being comfortable with relinquishing control

Season 5: The Unending Pursuit of Balance In Creativity Jul 11, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Season 5 of The Record Process!
In this season we examine the perpetual balancing act of committing to the pursuit of making music. Across the next 12 episodes, Casey and Tom dive deep into the meaning of "Authenticity" as it relates to their guests journey in creating each of these 12 albums. We learn how these musical architects grapple with the pressure of their audience’s expectations, along with their own mounting expectations of themselves over time. The weight of proving to the world (and ultimately themselves) that they are capable of more than just their previous contributions is a heavy one to bear. Harder still is the ability to risk falling short of uncovering a song's true intent. This is what creatives face each time they step into the arena - and in this season of The Record Process, you’ll hear 12 stories of what it’s like to take on that battle and come out the other side with a piece of work that is more than just the sum of its parts.
