Slow Pulp Tickets

Indie rock band Slow Pulp is known for blending lo-fi psychedelia with shimmering pop/rock. The Wisconsin-bred, Chicago-based quartet was named�Stereogum's "Band to Watch" in May 2019 following the release of three buzzworthy EPs, including 2019's critically-praised�Big Day.

Slow Pulp consists of members Emily Massey (guitar/vocals), Alex Julian Leeds (bass/vocals), Teddy Mathews (drums), and Henry Stoehr (guitar). While Leeds, Mathews and Stoehr are all childhood friends, Massey joined the band in 2017. "I can't describe a level of closeness with other people like we have," said Massey. "Having lived together, toured together, worked together and written together, we learned so much about each other so quickly."

Slow Pulp's self-produced, first full-length album�Moveys�was released in 2020.�Pitchfork�described the project as both "cathartic and restrained," while�NME�said it was "packed with a thousand deft little flourishes of texture which together add up to a deeply entrancing whole."�Moveys�was inspired in part by singer Emily Massey's desire to confront her physical and mental health struggles through cathartic songwriting.

In February 2023, the band announced they had signed to ANTI-, and would be touring with Death Cab for Cutie and the Pixies. They also released the punk-tinged single "Cramps" shortly after.

Slow Pulp's influences include a wide range of artists such as the Backstreet Boys, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Green Day, and Avril Lavigne.
