***A reissue of the debut full-length from Philadelphia psych/noise punk masters EMPATH licensed from Get Better Records. “Empath weave together synth-pop bass, a rock’n’roll backbeat, and a muted funk guitar. Tying together the ensemble is a sour whistle whose tone lands somewhere between Clinic’s ubiquitous melodica and Neutral Milk Hotel’s singing saw. It’s loud, it drowns out everything but lead singer Catherine Elicson’s voice, and it immediately marks Empath as a group who’s not interested in tidying their music up into easily digestible categories. They are here to make a mess.”—Pitchfork (8.0 rating). Delxue edition includes the band's 2018 Liberating Guilt and Fear 12-inch as a bonus. Pressed on limited edition purple (LP) and green (12") vinyl.
