Slow Pulp - Full Performance (Live on KEXP at Home)

[@MCBwasabii]

This is the quintessential way to listen to these 5 tracks. If they did a live video version like this for every song they have, I would lose my fucking mind

[@Aceofspades737]

Yes but they need to have kexp engineers record it, because this recording is unmatched in quality

[@joeltunnah]

Good to see the kids are keeping the 90s alive. My shoegaze band was never this cool.

[@luizspindola]

Yes it was... You just never noticed ;)

Yes it was Joel.

yeah. i pretty much found failure, tiny moving parts, TTNG and slow pulp here. best found ever

[@fabioampe]

Almost 80% of the bands I listen to nowdays I either discovered on these KEXP sessions, or I found out later that they had a session in KEXP and I just didn't know yet.

that's because KEXP gets it !!

The drummer, who's also singing the harmonies, is an essential ingredient in this band.

@@fireblazer6661 are you Caucasian and male by any chance? Sorry that you are tired of just hearing about gender equality, inclusivity and identity politics in the last couple of years. Women and people of colour have been tired of things not actually being equal or inclusive for way longer than that, their whole lives probably. The least you can do is be polite and listen when they mention it.

[@JackFHerrera]

Dude's lead guitar sounds so great. Also I have a huge crush on this singer haa. Great band all around. Current fav!

[@pleemp]

KEXP sound engineer(s) are the very best in the biz. I'm blown away every time, even listen to bands I don't like just to hear the mixing.

[@dretly]

Apparently the engineer is one of the band members too that’s badass

[@jas_bataille]

@@dretly I don't think the engineer on this performance is one of the band members. As a matter of fact, I am both a professional engineer and musician, and I can assure you : you have to choose one of those things to do live...! In the studio, of course, that's another story, but you can't make a live mix AND also be the player at the same time - I mean, you can wing it, but nowhere near this level. Engineering is very specific to a situation : a broadcast engineer isn't doing the same job as a studio mixing engineer who isn't doing the same job as a mastering engineer and so on... This is stellar work from KEXP's engineer.

[@jas_bataille]

To be more specific, since they are performing in their own studio, part of the engineering is done there (mic placement and so on), but the mix was done by the broadcasting engineer :)

[@jas_bataille]

Yes, best broadcast ones for sure. Also the lovely dude recording every Tiny Desk concerts is legendary!

[@dretly]

Jas Bataille yeah you’re most likely right haha I was just regurgitating what I read in another comment

Blown away by the production on this. I just got lost in it. Beautiful performance all around. These songs made me feel young again, feeling a sort of melancholy for being a little too self aware of one's innocence, a sort of weird longing to feel old and long to feel young again feeling. When you are fifteen and imagining the endless possibilities of life before you, but feel a bit tired by that, too.

[@alexmajors565]

Absolutely! Hopefully it got and continues to get you through the tough bits.

[@trexinvert]

Mesmerizing. There's a Breeders vibe. Emily sing with a kind of power whisper and a quiet wail. The rest of the guys create a low wall of rumbling rhythm and melody. On a few songs when she strums they create a unique crushing but restrained 3 guitar attack. This is my 2021 band.

[@fingerbob74]

Today by The Pumpkins too, Slugs by them also reminds me of Today!

[@trexinvert]

Yes, I hear that, but I think Pumpkins is in a whole difference category. Mainly, because with Pumpkin and with most 90's grunge there is an underlying energy of sarcasm and rage. That was feeding my soul back then, but if another bad tried to do the same today...it would feel phony to me. Slow Pulp may sound retro, but their vibe and energy is totally different. I can sense that with this band and their energy is totally brand new. I hope I made sense. Not ez to articulate, art, energy and what rocks!!
