Pom Poko - Champion (2024)
Champion, Pom Poko’s third album, is a vibrant, inventive mix of noise pop and post-punk, with the band further refining their signature sound. The album balances frenetic, math-rock-inspired instrumentals with catchy, pop-tinged melodies, exemplified in tracks like “My Family” and “Go.” Ragnhild Fangel Jamtveit’s vocals are more prominent, and the group explores more reflective themes, from familial bonds to personal growth. The album's dynamic range, from explosive moments like “Big Life” to delicate tracks like “Bell,” showcases their versatility while keeping their fun, unpredictable energy intact(PopMatters)(Picky Bastards)(The Arts Desk)(POST-TRASH).
