Slow Pulp have released a new single, Not for Nothing.
Built around guitar, piano and banjo alongside Emily Massey's powerful vocals, the song arrives with a dreamlike video directed by Ben Turok. Songwriter and guitarist Henry Stoehr said:
"This song is me just trying to externalize very complex emotions - of feeling stuck, of not being able to change how I feel, of my emotions permeating my life, and the heartbreak of my life changing in ways both unexpected by myself and by others. I feel so many people have felt something similar, and I wanted to write a song that would reach people where they are, and give them something concrete to grasp onto in the midst of a feeling that is hard to put into words."
Following earlier track Better Man, Not for Nothing is the second preview of the Chicago-based indie-rock band's third album, 'Melodie', due out on September 18 via ANTI-.
Alongside the new music, the four-piece have also announced a UK and European tour running from January 21 to February 6, with the run including shows in Glasgow, Dublin, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds and London, where they'll play the O2 Forum Kentish Town. Prior to the new dates, they'll tour North America extensively this autumn.
