NYC-based collective MICHELLE have released their new single “PULSE” today. Premiered via Clara Amfo’s “First Play” on BBC Radio 1 in the UK, the track is accompanied by a visualizer designed by Juliet Bryant (Justin Vernon, Japanese Breakfast, Death Cab for Cutie). Watch it now below.
Of “PULSE,” MICHELLE shares, “‘PULSE’ is for release and for some sharp and glowing feeling when you lock eyes with a lover. ‘PULSE’ is for the dance floor. When the heat is cranked from moving bodies and a shared wanting, ‘PULSE’ is playing.”
“PULSE” follows the recent release of four live videos – for “MY FRIENDS,” “FIRE ESCAPE,” “SPACED OUT, PHASED OUT,” and “NO SIGNAL” – tracks from the band’s acclaimed sophomore album AFTER DINNER WE TALK DREAMS, released via Atlantic Records/Canvasback Music in March of 2022. Directed by filmmaker Greg Corn, the acoustic live takes were filmed on the rooftop and fire escape of band member Jamee Lockard’s NYC apartment.
MICHELLE will soon embark on an additional leg of their headline run The Lavender Tour – kicking off October 31st in Durham, NC and culminating in Brussels, Belgium on November 17th, and including performances at Pitchfork Music Festival London and Paris. Tickets can be found HERE.
The band will also appear on the bill of Canvasback labelmate Briston Maroney’s Paradise Fest on November 4th at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, TN.
