Cheater

"Alt i alt har Pom Poko imponeret og gjort et godt stykke arbejde, på trods af lidt udskejelser. Det virker velovervejet og som om, at alle detaljer fra de fire medlemmer er nøje gennemtænkt. Fire vigtige komponenter, én stjerne for hver af dem".

"Surrealist art-punk to blow away the lockdown woes ... The Norwegian four-piece push their exploratory sound into even weirder places than before. However gnarly things get, though, they always bring the party".

"Day-Glo fireworks seemingly exploding at random, the gleeful abandon of the second album from Norway's Pom Poko takes them to more angular, harder-hitting places than their debut, last year's 'Birthday'. The white-noise and sometimes Afro-leaning Morse code stutter guitar remain, but there's an extra heft. Ragnhild Fangel's vocals are now agitated, urgent. 'Cheater' is a pop long-player, though, and Pom Poko are still an art-pop band. By embracing the contrast between frenetic delivery and songs with sweet melodies, the quartet have set themselves a challenge. It mostly works but can be breathless".
