Slow Pulp return with their third album Melodie, reflecting on past lives and past relationships forced them to reevaluate their approach and, once again begin anew. The result is a record that balances power-pop euphoria, acoustic heartbreak, and the ocean of sound between them.
Melodie is too large for any single style of rock to contain. The tastefully folky tracks that open the album are mirrored by electrified slow burns at its end, with some subtle dream pop, several breathtaking ballads and righteous takes on power pop.
