Pumarosa

Honey

Heavyweight two track 12" with Sinking Heart on the flip. It’s two years since Pumarosa formed, but you’d be forgiven for thinking they hadn’t spent a day apart. Razor-sharp and accomplished, they play like they’ve rehearsed for years without pause. Isabel and Nicholas started the band by chance. A friend was eager to start a new music project and invited the two to come and play, but said friend never showed up. Instead, the pair were left to lay the foundations of what would become Pumarosa. When an album lands, it’s set to encompass the journey Pumarosa have taken so far. From stuffy practice rooms to disused cinemas, right through to every stage they’ve graced in the past year, there’s been a learning process, and that will in part inform an eventual full-length. These songs have always been alive, in a way. Instead of being written, recorded and put to bed, they’ve re-developed, changing in scope as the band have progressed. This 12’’features their most recent single Honey which is a slow-building jam that develops into a shimmering soar with fuzzy guitars, dense drums, and Isabel Munoz-Newsome’s pure, beautiful vocals floating above.
