In 2023, the London metal trio Pupil Slicer released the frantic, shape-shifting album Blossom and became a Stereogum Band To Watch. They’ve been quiet since then, but now Pupil Slicer are back with their first new songs in a couple of years. “Heather” and “Black Scrawl,” released as a two-song single, have the same majestic gleam as Pupil Slicer’s past records.
