Fat Possum

Psychedelic noise band from Philadelphia, founded circa 2015.

<p>Fat Possum Records is a label that was established in 1991 with the sole purpose of recording R.L. Burnside. Over time, it evolved into a mission to discover and record the last remaining original bluesmen before they passed away. Despite facing various challenges such as difficult personalities, limited songs, and a raw sound that didn't fit the mainstream blues market, these artists possessed immense talent and truly lived the blues.</p>

<p>In recent years, Fat Possum has expanded its catalog to include newer indie blues rock bands alongside their traditional offerings.</p>

Critically acclaimed debut album from Philadelphia based noise punks, Empath. Featuring members of Perfect Pussy and Waxahatchee. It's a noise-pop classic - a big rainbow of chaos. Think a mix of Neutral Milk Hotel and the early Elephant 6 label releases mixed with Sonic Youth.

Empath goes far beyond the sound of birds faintly chirping. They’re a band that writes songs like communing with nature, bringing all their fuzzed and tripped out idiosyncrasies into harmony. Empath began in 2016 when Garrett Koloski, Emily "Jem" Shanahan, and Catherine Elicson moved into a house in West Philadelphia together, with Randall Coon joining shortly after. Even with the simple vision to shred, there’s a natural sensitivity in the way Empath communicates. Between the contrast of Elicson’s lush, almost delicate vocals, Koloski’s boisterous drumming, and the half-harmonious wash of guitar and Shanahan and Coon’s synths, Empath equips us with a healthy dose of emotional repose.
