Chicago indie rock band Slow Pulp announces their forthcoming album, Melodie, which is set to arrive this fall. The band releases the lead single “Better Man,” a new track described by outlets as delivering the band’s characteristic mix of emotional indie rock and hook-driven songwriting. The announcements come as follow-up to previous 2023 activity that included Slow Pulp’s TV debut on CBS’ Saturday Sessions and a cover of Lifehouse on SiriusXMU.
Coverage also characterizes Melodie as Slow Pulp’s third album. One report notes that the songwriting credits span multiple members of the group, and that the record includes new production contributions from an outside producer. Across the articles, “Better Man” is presented as the first preview of the album’s sound and direction ahead of its release later this year.
