EMPATH (Philly, Fat Possum Records)

“A noise-pop gem…like four people who sat in a room flexing their own freaky styles until… the chaos created its own logic.” -ROLLING STONE. Empath’s sophomore full-length album 'Visitor,' via Fat Possum Records, marks a seismic shift for the scrappy Philly quartet who came up playing shows on Northeastern DIY circuits and are now staring down a tour with Modest Mouse. While the album holds steadfast to the careening, joyous noise Empath staked their name on, 'Visitor' was produced by Jake Portrait, and Empath sought to one-up the range of sounds heard on their previous album.
