It has actually been proven scientifically impossible for Slow Pulp to make a bad song thier new Exhibit A: “Broadview.” The band’s latest tune, from their forthcoming sophomore album “Yard”, features vocalist Emily Massey’s soulful lilt with quiet, purring instrumentals—whose constant thrum adds a weary, satisfied calm to the song’s full-bodied emotions. Massey describes it as a love tune after a long, dark period of hurt, that first impossible dip back into vulnerability. Steady drums and rich acoustic sound add a gravity that keeps the song’s feet on the ground, even as electric guitars and harmonicas float it into the ether. Massey’s vocals are as impressive as ever, and her charisma and power envelop the song’s lyricism in a soothing, shimmery air.
