Slow Pulp Unveil New Album "Melodie" & Share Single "Better Man"

Slow Pulp have announced their third album, Melodie , which will be out September 18 via ANTI-. They made it with producer Elliott Kozel (Rosalía, Björk, SZA, Eartheater). “Emily [Massey] and I were reconnecting with how we wrote together when we first met,” Henry Stoehr says of the album’s process.

The first single is the anthemic “Better Man.” Stoehr says: “In my mid 20s, I entered a phase in my life that felt really stable. I had felt so turbulent emotionally up until that point and I desperately wanted to feel that I deserved to experience that. Naively, I thought that I could just extinguish that kid that fucked up all the time and couldn’t control himself. This song is me both letting go of control but taking control of myself in a new way, and accepting myself for who I am, and hoping that can be accepted by everyone else.” Watch the video below.

Slow Pulp will be on tour this fall with Snuggle, Her New Knife, Goon, Ivy, Graham Hunt, and Current Union TM opening along the way. The NYC show is at Brooklyn Paramount on November 13 with Her New Knife and Ivy. All dates are listed below.
