It\u2019s slinky, snarling, and full of sharp teeth\u2014fueled by a moaning vocal and a riff that stomps with real purpose. Imagine garage rock roughed up by desert grit, then set loose with a bit of Britpop swagger. It\u2019s a lusty, villainous little beast of a song. Or, as frontman Brennan Smiley puts it, \u201c<em>It builds, broods, and licks its lips\u2014something indistinguishable between a smile and a snarl.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pl8nH0c0ldM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>It\u2019s also the first track they recorded with producer Robert Adam Stevenson (Queens of the Stone Age, The Kills), and according to Smiley, it was the spark that lit the fuse. \u201c<em>It gave us a confident burst of excitement and the push we needed to move forward and open the floodgates of ideas.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Heavy Pulp\u2019&nbsp;marks The Technicolors\u2019 first full-length since 2021\u2019s&nbsp;\u2018<em>Cinema Sublimina<\/em>,\u2019 and it\u2019s a wild step forward. Built deliberately and confidently during a few quiet years of creative regrouping, the record also features Nathan Price of BRONCHO on drums.

After spending over a decade grinding on the road and trying to keep up with the content hamster wheel, the band hit pause to get intentional with their craft. And wouldn\u2019t you know it? While they were laying low, their back catalog kept catching fire.
