Pseudopomp ‘Only Just’ – out now!
Alt-rock duo Pseudopomp, composed of Greek musician Iosif and British-Bulgarian artist Katerina, is set to enchant listeners once again with their highly anticipated sophomore single, ‘Only Just’. Following the critical acclaim of their debut track ‘23’, the duo has solidified their place in the indie music scene with a distinctive sound that melds eerie alt-rock aesthetics with unconventional songwriting.
Pseudopomp has been a vibrant part of London’s eclectic music landscape, their roots tracing back to spontaneous late-night jam sessions that followed rehearsals with their previous project. These after-hours musical explorations laid the groundwork for their unique sonic identity, a blend of haunting riffs, off-kilter rhythms, and narrative-driven lyrics. The creative spark ignited during these informal sessions has continued to flourish, leading to the emergence of their first batch of recordings, including the gripping ‘Only Just’.
‘Only Just’ is anything but a conventional love song; it is an anti-love anthem that delves deep into the frustrations, confusions, and inevitable heartaches that come with falling helplessly in love. The track captures the essence of emotional turmoil through its dark yet melodious alt-rock soundscape. With haunting guitar riffs and unsettling melodies, the song immerses listeners in the feeling of emotional unrest, skillfully embodying the struggle of grappling with vulnerability.
The track’s pivotal moment arrives at 2:28, where faint piano notes usher in a climactic epiphany. Here, the narrator confronts the harsh reality that the weight of heartbreak has settled in, a moment that resonates with anyone who has ever experienced the tumultuous highs and lows of love.
All instruments in ‘Only Just’ were recorded by Pseudopomp themselves, showcasing their artistic independence and commitment to crafting a raw sound. The duo once again teamed up with producer Ben ‘Faz’ Farestvedt, whose expertise helps elevate their vision into a polished sonic experience. Over the summer, they have made significant strides in London’s indie scene, captivating audiences through a series of intimate acoustic gigs, showcasing their ability to connect with listeners on a personal level.
As they continue to evolve, Pseudopomp is currently preparing to perform with a full band, aiming to fully realize the atmospheric qualities of their music on stage. This evolution hints at an exciting new chapter for the duo, as they work to bring their evocative sound to life in front of audiences.
With the release of ‘Only Just,’ Pseudopomp stands poised to capture the hearts of indie music fans everywhere. The track not only highlights their raw emotional depth but also reinforces their position as one of the most exciting new acts in the indie scene. As they blend spooky alt-rock with unhinged energy, Pseudopomp invites listeners to embark on a journey through the intricacies of love and heartache, all while establishing a sound that is distinctly their own.
As they prepare to unveil this latest offering, the anticipation surrounding Pseudopomp only continues to grow, leaving fans eager to witness what this dynamic duo will create next.
