Sltp’s ‘futile’ Will Melt Your Heart [stream]

Summer Loving Torture Party – Futile SoundCloud

Described as driven by rhythm and a man who shouts into a microphone, Summer Loving Torture Party (SLTP) is tackling the indie alt pop universe with grungy guitars, crisp riffs and gentle vocals. The sexy, creeping vocal work that backs “Futile” radiates warmth and melts within the first verse. The track itself scripts a dreamy ballad of youthful reminiscing revolving around the futility of a past love. Despite the sadness rooted in the topic at hand, SLTP creates a melancholic lament meshed with a musically optimistic sound. This quartet masters a sound presumable to what an Arctic Monkeys and Death Cab for Cutie offspring would make, marking them on our charts as new, notable and downright hip. Rooted in Birmingham, you can hear more from SLTP on their SoundCloud.
