Empath share new video for “Passing Stranger”

Philadelphia noise pop group Empath are releasing their new album Visitor on February 11 via Fat Possum. It’s one of our most anticipated albums of winter/spring 2022, and today they’ve given us another reason why. “Passing Stranger” is the newest single from the album, a gorgeously ragged pop song with a swirling, distorted shoegaze sound at the heart of it. Its new video is directed and edited by Catherine Elicson and shot by Halle Ballard, and features lo-fi footage of the band in a candlelit room in what seems like a low-key late-night ritual, juxtaposed against outdoor night vision scenes. Check out the new clip below.
