Deleted Scenes: Tote Bag
** This is a pre-order. Tote alone ships in July**
Slow Pulp follow up their triumphant debut album Moveys with two Deleted Scenes. "At It Again (Again)" reinterprets the grunged-up album track as a soft and gentle acoustic version. Emily Massey’s vocals float light as a feather over strumming acoustic strings and staccato guitar rhythms. "Iowa" is a hazy, fever-dream take on Moveys standout "Idaho". Recalling the ethereal allure of alt 90s acts such as Mazzy Star or Enya, this adaptation finds the band experimenting with new sonic textures. Somehow both haunting and comforting, the pitched-down, androgynous vocal delivery gives “Iowa” its unique charm.
2020 was a turbulent year of ups and downs for the band. In the process of making their debut record, the Chicago-based indie rock band powered through health challenges, a severe car accident, and a pandemic. On the other side, they emerged with Moveys, 10 compelling tracks of blistering energy and emotional catharsis, highlighting the band's resourcefulness and resilience to come together even when the odds were stacked against them. Their debut long-play was named one of 2020’s best from NYLON, Vinyl Me Please, FLOOD Magazine, and others. Pigeons & Planes recently dubbed Slow Pulp a rising band to know for 2021. To support Moveys and its counterpart, Deleted Scenes, the band will embark on a full US headline tour this November and December. Stops will include shows in New York City, Los Angeles, and their hometown of Chicago.
