Shimmering into view as the band announces a third album, \u003cem\u003eBeneath Strawberry Moons\u003c\/em\u003e, the combined inspirations of Lindsey Leven and Guto Pryce are supplemented by the musicianship of Andrew Wasylyk as the stomach-butterflies of optimism flutter around and the lapping foams of the band’s ethereal, folkish psych-pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusician and multi-media artist, Leven rejoins Pryce, who traces faintly around the simmering offbeat sounds of his life as a Super Furry Animal (as well as part of Das Koolies and The Pictish Trail), and supporting bandmates, Gid Goundrey (guitar) and Stuart Kidd (drums), for Gulp’s third album. The nine-track \u003cem\u003eBeneath Strawberry Moons\u003c\/em\u003e, released via ELK Records, follows their 2014 debut, Season Sun, released with Sonic Cathedral and the acclaimed All Good Wishes, which arrived four years later. Extending the gestation of a complete, new collection of work to seven years, accounting for the pair’s relocation from Pryce’s native Cardiff, \u003cem\u003eBeneath Strawberry Moons\u003c\/em\u003e emerges as a minimal-carbon-footprint, hyperlocal album, created amongst friends with no deadlines between Piggery Studio and the duo’s garden cabin in North East Fife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescribing their surrounds as ‘idyllic’ and responding artistically to the significant life change, that has brought energy and release, Leven describes the album as “in the most part a love letter to this new way of life”, celebrating space, love, connection and time, cut with an underlying awareness of the fragility of this beauty. Having leaked new material, the cinematic showdown of Always So Far, back in May, the choice of Hope Shines Through The Haar as Gulp’s first single since 2018 links the pair’s delicately charged sense of abundant possibility, Scotland’s heritage and their bracing proximity to the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ELK Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - White","offer_id":52516682662219,"sku":"R1849-9046","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":52516702749003,"sku":"R1849-7834","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/86050534-3b10-4bb4-88fe-7ce29eef8da6.jpg?v=1750844239"},{"product_id":"wildflower-1","title":"Wildflower","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeep 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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFollowing 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, \u003cem\u003eBeneath Strawberry Moons \u003c\/em\u003efor release on ELK Records.
