{"product_id":"slow-pulp-melodie","title":"Slow Pulp - Melodie","description":"\u003cp\u003eSlow Pulp's Melodie finds the Chicago-based indie rockers stretching out on their third album, trying new things without losing the intimacy that drew people in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band started out in Madison, Wisconsin, and built a devoted following with Moveys in 2020 and Yard in 2023, records that paired Emily Massey's unguarded vocals with fuzzy guitars and a knack for quiet devastation. Melodie marks a new step. For the first time they brought in an outside producer, Elliott Kozel, who shared the controls with guitarist Henry Stoehr and Massey, and Stoehr stepped up as a writer, penning five of the eleven songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Better Man\", the lead single, sets the tone with an easygoing, slightly scuffed charm, while \"Not for Nothing\" slows everything right down into a tender piano ballad that shows a side of the band few would have predicted. The title track and opener \"Yellow and Green\" balance hazy textures with hooks that sneak up on you a few listens in, and \"Slip Away\" brings the record to a close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a patience to this album that rewards close attention, with space left between the instruments and Massey's voice placed right up front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of bittersweet, guitar-led indie, Melodie is a quietly confident step forward from a band still finding new corners of its sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67763371278626,"sku":"045778817115","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Slow_Pulp-Melodie.jpg?v=1794324122","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/slow-pulp-melodie","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
