The Technicolors have released their new album Heavy Pulp. The record marks the follow-up to their LP Cinema Sublimina, which landed back in 2021.

With eleven songs loaded in the chamber, Heavy Pulp is a fiery shot of fuzz-drenched rock & roll, fusing sexy indie sleaze with more electrifying experimental sounds that make for an ear-pleasing listen. With the production handled by Robert Adam Stevenson, this new work checks many boxes for lovers of early Arctic Monkeys, The Kills, and White Stripes / Jack White sonics. Stream Heavy Pulp below.

Regarding the album, The Technicolors’ Brennan Smiley wrote:

“Our best work yet? Maybe the first time we stumbled into what felt like our own little world here and this record is our first exploration. Definitely the first time we leaned into the fact that we all love and are inspired by so much music in so many different directions. We weren’t afraid to let that show more vibrantly versus maybe tucking that part of us back in an attempt to make things feel ‘cohesive.’ We found a lot of identity in making this one and I hear a lot of space in it.

A lot of that had to do with Robert, he pulled a lot of that out of us and sort of shocked us out of the mindset we had been in since the last record. With our last album Cinema Sublimina the whole point was to get deep in the weeds and sort of craft every sound and moment precisely and to edit it like it was a movie. Whereas for this one, we just wanted to keep as much pulp in the juice and not hide the blemishes and go with the most instant moments of excitement and trust those feelings and block everything else out. It’s 2025 and we’re tryin’ to stay pulpy out here.”
