Fire Track: Slow Pulp – “Cramps”

Chicago based four-piece Slow Pulp have signed to ANTI- Records and have released the single “Cramps,” a coolly crackling new track that sounds like it is pulling lead singer Emily Massey’s vocals through a distorted tape deck backed by the band’s well-honed blend of post-punk shoegaze.

“The song came out of a jam at practice right after I had proclaimed that my period cramps were particularly bad that day,” Massey explained. “It is about searching for things you wish you had in other people and creating this character in your head that has all the physical and emotional attributes you feel that you are lacking.”
