Pumarosa - The Witch (Matador) 2017
7
The Witch, the much awaited debut album of London five-piece Pumarosa brings effortlessly cool groove oriented space rock for twelve fabulous danceable tracks. The band gave a little taste of what magic was to come with their full length release by teasing listeners with several singles leading up to their debut.
Helmed by singer and rhythm guitarist Isabel Munoz-Newsome, Pumarosa glides through one pulsing track to the next without missing a beat. The album seamlessly sways between straight forward rock tracks like the grungier “Honey”, to slower building numbers like the title track “The Witch” or album highlight “Priestess”. The band sows a unique mixture of genre bending and experimentation mixing traces of trip hop and electronic music among the masterfully delayed guitars and pulsating bass lines.
Pumarosa are quickly becoming one of the more interesting acts to secure slots at many of the seasons big European festivals in 2017.
