Philadelphia’s Empath have announced that their new album Visitor is out February 11 via Fat Possum. The news of their Active Listening: Night on Earth follow-up arrives with a new single called “Diamond Eyelids,” which comes with a new music video directed by Halle Ballard. Find it below.
“This song was written stream of consciousness from a few pieced together memories I had,” Empath vocalist and guitarist Catherine Elicson said in a statement. “One of coming downstairs at my house one morning and unexpectedly finding a friend who lives on the other side of the country asleep on the couch, and the other memory was of when a friend used to travel from Chicago an hour and a half to the suburbs to work full time at a low paying Americorps job. Collaging memories in a way that created an emotional narrative about reaching for a fleeting moment of connection and familiarity.”
