In September 2018, Black Belt Eagle Scout (the recording project of Katherine Paul) released their debut album, "Mother of My Children." It received excellent reviews from NPR Music, Stereogum, Paste, Pitchfork, FADER, and Under The Radar, and was named "Best Rock Album of 2018" by Pitchfork. A year later, Black Belt Eagle Scout has released a new full-length album called "At the Party With My Brown Friends." Unlike the first album, which was about loss, landscape, and KP's standing as a radical indigenous queer feminist, this new album focuses on love, desire, and friendship. It's a subtle yet significant change, replacing the previous album's squalling guitar anthems with delicate vocals and soft keys, creating a shadowy, stirring effect. The result is a captivating and unique artistic vision.
