Deep contemplation on the foundations of contentment and the imprecise steps taken towards purpose needn’t compromise the groove and Gulp’s latest single, ‘Wildflower', paints a pastel wash of wonder over poised, sun-specked synth-pop pleasure. Reflective of the band’s own ethereal electro-pop standing after more than a decade of creativity, while sounding echoes of the electro-noir sensibilities of Goldfrapp and sultry, tainted sugar rushes of Saint Etienne, the single’s beach club basslines and recurrent popcorn melodies purposely evoke the fleeting freedom of unencumbered childhood.
Following a seven-year break between releases, accounted for by the wholesale relocation of multi-media artist and musician, Lindsey Leven and her partner, Super Furry Animals’ Guto Pryce from Cardiff to the coast of North East Fife, the band release their third album, Beneath Strawberry Moons for release on ELK Records. Impacted by landmark life events, not merely in practical terms, but in finding home within a fresh and generous artistic community on their new doorstep and swapping fabricated city chaos for the chaotic whims of nature, Gulp’s third album found its own, organic way into being.
