Where to see Slow Pulp
About Slow Pulp
Slow Pulp started in Madison, Wisconsin, where guitarist Henry Stoehr, bassist Alex Leeds and drummer Teddy Mathews had played together since childhood before singer and guitarist Emily Massey joined. The band later relocated to Chicago and built a following through early EPs before releasing a debut album, Moveys, on Winspear in 2020.
Moveys was made during a difficult stretch for Massey, who was dealing with a chronic illness while her parents recovered from a serious car accident, and the songs carry that weight in quiet, plainspoken lyrics. The follow-up, Yard, came out on ANTI- in 2023 and pushed the band's louder side, with fuzzed-out guitars and big choruses sitting alongside stripped-back, almost country-tinged ballads.
