Tulpa: Monster Of The Week

Leeds based indie band Tulpa, named after an existence that does not really exist, have put out an album with upbeat rambling post-punk tracks about facing your inner demons and insecurities. Monster Of The Week is a celebration of the concise pop song: get to the point pretty damn fast and don't bother listeners with detours that might brake the spell.

Some distortion and feedback is totally fine - in fact they welcome it with open arms - but they never let it get in the way of the main melody. The band operates in a self-contained, almost childlike universe, wherein the normal rules of physics don't apply. Recommended if you like Jad Fair, The Breeders, The Sundays and The Primitives.

Monster Of The Week is released via Skepwax (vinyl, CD, digital).
