Madison, Wisconsin’s dynamic foursome Slow Pulp delivers indie-pop in unique and enthralling form on new song “Preoccupied.”
A drum cue ushers in a free-flowing sound, which parallels a dreamscape with its celestial vocals, smooth flourishes of saxophone and a resonant bassline. This touch is sharpened by cutting guitar that gives portions of the song a light but noticeable post-punk edge similar to Gang of Four’s early releases.
“Preoccupied” appeared as the closing song on Slow Pulp’s newest project EP2, released this past spring.
