Our Take

POM POKO have returned with their sophomore album, "Cheater", and it's a wild ride from start to finish. The Norwegian quartet have doubled down on their signature blend of indie rock, art pop, and punk influences, resulting in a record that is as eclectic as it is infectious.

From the opening track "Like a Lady", with its infectious hooks and quirky lyrics, to the closing notes of "Andy Go to School", which sees the band exploring new sonic territories, "Cheater" is a masterclass in genre-blurring experimentation. Lead vocalist Ragnhild Fangel's distinctive voice soars over the frenetic instrumentation, drawing listeners in with its hypnotic charm.

Tracks like "My Candidacy" and "Look" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy melodies that stick in your head for days, while songs like "Praise" and "Baroque" demonstrate their willingness to push boundaries and defy expectations.

But it's on tracks like "Discotheque" and "Like a Lady" where POM POKO truly shine, blending infectious grooves with clever wordplay and unexpected twists and turns.

Overall, "Cheater" is a triumph for POM POKO, showcasing their evolution as songwriters and musicians. With its playful spirit and boundless creativity, this album is sure to delight both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

About the artist

Pom Poko

POM POKO are the Norwegian art-pop quartet you never knew you needed in your life. With their eclectic mix of punk attitude, whimsical melodies, and jaw-dropping technical skills, this band is a force to be reckoned with in the indie music scene. Formed in Trondheim in 2016, POM POKO burst onto the scene with their debut album "Birthday" in 2019. Combining elements of math rock, post-punk, and synth-pop, their music is as unpredictable as it is infectious. Lead vocalist Ragnhild Fange's quirky vocal delivery is reminiscent of Björk, while the band's intricate guitar work and frenetic rhythms bring to mind the likes of Battles and Deerhoof. But don't be fooled by their seemingly chaotic sound - POM POKO's musicianship is as tight as a drum. Their live shows are nothing short of a spectacle, with Fange's boundless energy and wacky stage presence drawing comparisons to the legendary David Byrne. And let's not forget about their fashion sense - these guys can rock a pair of neon spandex like nobody's business. With accolades from NME, BBC Radio 6, and a spot on the esteemed Pitchfork Festival lineup, it's safe to say that POM POKO are here to stay. So if you're looking for music that's equal parts cerebral and danceable, look no further than these Norwegian wunderkinds. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
