Following on from their breakout single ‘Priestess’ last year, East London five-piece Pumarosa continue to impress with today’s sublime feature, ‘Cecile’. Without losing any of the underlying urgency from the storming intro, ‘Cecile’ delivers a blinding 4 minutes of expertly crafted and utterly transfixing dream guitar pop, and during which, lead vocalist Isabel Munoz-Newsome shines with an adventurous performance that elevates the song’s locked groove to another place entirely. The Rebecca Salvadori directed video is an excellent foray into the contrasting moods of the track, yet ultimately this is a band who has already done so well with the strength of the music rather than a backstory or overarching aesthetic. Ones to watch this year, undoubtedly.
