Over the past couple of months Chicago-based DIY band Slow Pulp have been slowly teasing their excellent new album Yard, first with "Slugs" and, in July, "Doubt." Today the band has dropped "Broadview," a dreamy and soft-hearted ballad filled with pedal steel guitar that leans into the country-rock sound that bands like Wednesday and Florry have been working with on their latest albums.
"This song is about letting yourself fall in love for the first time in a long time,” the band's Emily Massey says. “After being hurt in previous relationships I was trying to decide if making the jump was worth it. Turns out it was."
After the release of Yard, Slow Pulp will be hitting the road for an extensive run of shows in North America, U.K., and Europe. The tour kicks off in Milwaukee, WI on October 4, and wraps up more than two months later in Denmark. Check out the rest of the dates — plus the "Broadview" video — below.
