Info zu Bad Juice (Remastered)

High Pulp are an 8-piece band that emerged from the Royal Room, a legendary Seattle Jazz club where they held "Funk Church" jam sessions in 2017. Their signature sound is a Psychedelic fusion of Hip-Hop, Funk, Jazz, and Soul which come together with complex, well thought out arrangements and progressive style.

After successful sessions and premieres with prestigious station KEXP, and being at the forefront of the Seattle music scene, they're now ready to branch out and take their sound worldwide. Bad Juice kicks off with lush, soulful big band horns, as the triumphant and quite epic intro sets the tone for this truly unique multifaceted band. They really show off their skills in the first few minutes, showing off a range of styles from an up-tempo ska-like jam to a downtempo sleazy Jazz-Rock groove.

Their high level of creativity and leftfield Cinematic Orchestra / Stereolab-esque arrangements meld perfectly with the inspiration of 60's and 70's Jazz, Soul, and Funk. It's sprinkled with a new age touch in a concoction worthy of any lounge, Funk, or Dance DJ or discerning crate digger alike.

High Pulp
is an instrumental, Seattle-based collective.

It all began in 2017 when High Pulp emerged from a weekly “Funk Church” jam session at Seattle’s historic jazz club The Royal Room. It was here that High Pulp’s founding members discovered one another. An inexplicable force pulled the collective together to produce the high-octane jazz, funk, hip-hop, punk, psychedelic cocktail that soon became their signature sound.

In 2019, High Pulp’s orbit collided with three well-known Seattle-based R&B/soul artists - JusMoni, Falon Sierra, and Shaina Shepherd (BEARAXE) - bringing vocalists into High Pulp’s extended musical family for the first time. Each of these artists joined in writing and recording a track with High Pulp, and together the three tracks formulate the Light Fix EP (released Fall 2019).

Now, the story continues with UK-based label KingUnderground, who released High Pulp's debut full-length Bad Juice on deluxe 2xLP vinyl (Fall 2020) and who is also releasing Mutual Attraction.

Mutual Attraction is a trilogy of trilogies where each track is a cover performance intended to honor the original composition while also electrifying it true High Pulp style. In the way that music is a grand tapestry of past, present, and future threads woven together, the Mutual Attraction series explores what happens when an artist meditates deeply on the threads of their musical upbringing and reweaves them into the musical present, repeatedly asking the question: “What if?”
