Description
From the very first beat of ‘Fall Apart’, anyone familiar with Pumarosa can tell that a transformation has taken place. With a fast drum’ n’ bass inspired tattoo beating urgently beneath a sawing riff and a wide, synthesised expanse, this is a dramatic evolution from the band’ s more guitardriven debut, ‘The Witch’.Digging deeper into electronic influences ranging from Aphex Twin and Autechre to old jungle tunes, the shock of ‘Fall Apart’ mirrors the irreversible shift in Pumarosa’ s own circumstances shattering diagnoses, new beginnings and a strange optimism the promise of what can be built only after total annihilation all fed into a record that feels like an exhilarating affirmation of life.
