Slow Pulp Announce Melodie, Release Lead Single “Better Man”

Working with producer Elliot Kozel signals a new production direction for the band, tying the Sept. 18 release to a planned fall North American tour.

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.
