Overview
- Slow Pulp announced their third album, Melodie, and released the lead single “Better Man” on Wednesday, with the album set for release on September 18 via ANTI-.
- The single arrived with a Ben Turok–directed video that foregrounds singer Emily Massey’s performance and the song’s theme of letting go of control.
- Melodie is the band’s first record made with outside producer Elliot Kozel, a change from guitarist Henry Stoehr producing prior albums that could shift the group’s sound.
- The band published an 11-track tracklist for Melodie and unveiled a fall North American tour with multiple openers, including a Nov. 13 stop at Brooklyn Paramount in New York City.
- Slow Pulp built momentum after 2023’s Yard through TV and radio exposure, and this coordinated album-plus-tour rollout aims to broaden their reach and showcase the new production approach.
