Tulpa are an indie rock band from Leeds. Their sound contrasts detuned and lo-fi guitar textures with hyper-melodic vocals, creating songs with emotional warmth and sonic intrigue. The group consists of Josie Kirk, Daniel Hyndman, Myles Kirks and Mike Ainsley. The band have recently supported Throwing Muses, Pale Blue Eyes and Bug Club and have recently done a live session for Marc Riley and Gideon Coe on BBC6 Music.
Not much is known about Tulpa, they don’t have any songs online yet (Just a live video of the band playing in a chapel in Wakefield) but in the quieter corners of the UK’s DIY festivals and indie venues they amass a following of lovers of noise, melody and good rock music. Live their songs lean into texture and tone creating a dreamy atmosphere and distortion that feels like a big hug. The songs meander from catchy hooks into tangents of musical experimentation and guitar wizardry.
Their debut album ‘Monster of the Week’ is out on Skepwax records this November. It was recorded by Jamie Lockhart ( The Cribs, Mush, Drahla). The record is the first ever album to be produced at Jamie’s new studio at Lamigo Bay, a picturesque and remote region of the Highlands.
A Tulpa is a mythical being manifested into existence through the act of concentrated thought, like an imaginary friend brought to life but (sometimes) scarier. The lyrics on ‘Monster of the Week’ sometimes riff on the esoteric, strange and cultish. More often than not though, the songs are about the simple stuff - universal emotions expressed sometimes directly and sometimes more abstractly through playful imagery.
FFO: Breeders, Pavement, Yo La Tengo etc.
