From Jams to Gems: Pseudopomp’s Atmospheric New Single ‘Only Just’

Pseudopomp, the intriguing alt-rock duo comprising Greek musician Iosif and British-Bulgarian artist Katerina, returns with their highly anticipated sophomore single, ‘Only Just’. Following the promising debut track ‘23’, this latest offering solidifies their position in the indie music landscape, showcasing their signature blend of eerie alt-rock and unconventional songwriting.
Emerging from the vibrant London music scene, Pseudopomp’s genesis can be traced back to late-night jam sessions that occurred after rehearsals for a previous project. It’s this spontaneous, organic collaboration that fuels their distinctive sound, a captivating mix of haunting riffs, off-kilter rhythms, and evocative lyricism. ‘Only Just’ is a testament to this creative process, encapsulating the duo’s knack for crafting songs that are as emotionally resonant as they are sonically compelling.
Thematically, ‘Only Just’ is an anti-love song that delves into the tangled emotions of infatuation and the confusion that comes with it. The lyrics express a sense of helplessness in the face of love’s complexities, encapsulating feelings of frustration and vulnerability. Musically, the track is steeped in dark yet melodious alt-rock, with unsettling melodies that beautifully mirror the emotional unrest that the lyrics convey. The moment of climax at 2:28, punctuated by delicate piano notes, serves as a poignant epiphany, where the narrator confronts the inevitability of heartbreak, leaving a lingering sense of melancholy.
Pseudopomp’s decision to record all instruments themselves, in collaboration with producer Ben ‘Faz’ Farestvedt, further enhances the track’s raw authenticity. The duo’s commitment to their craft is evident as they have spent the summer engaging with London’s indie scene through a series of acoustic gigs, and they are now gearing up to perform with a full band. This evolution promises to elevate their atmospheric sound to new heights on stage.
In ‘Only Just’, Pseudopomp showcases not just their musical prowess but also their ability to weave narratives that resonate deeply with listeners. Their unique blend of raw emotion, spooky alt-rock, and unhinged energy positions them as one of the most exciting new acts in the indie scene today. As they continue to make waves, it will be thrilling to see how their sound evolves and what stories they choose to tell next.

Naud Takes Flight with ‘Un Gars Bian’: A Wild Ride of Music & Madness

After ten years of musical mischief, Naud has finally dropped anchor, or rather taken flight, with Un Gars Bian, an album that feels like a hug from an old friend and an impromptu dance party all at once. This high-energy, genre-mashing adventure blends alternative pop, electro, funk, and whatever else Naud felt like throwing into the mix. Think Marseille’s “joyous chaos” bottled up into soundwaves, bursting with playful unpredictability.
Leading things off is “Déjà Vu,” a sweet-and-sour love song about a romance that spanned across Europe but never quite took off, kind of like booking a first-class ticket to heartbreak. It’s got just the right mix of experimental vibes and catchy pop magic to make you groove while overthinking your past relationships.
The album title, Un Gars Bian, is a cheeky play on words, merging Marseille (city in France) slang for “seagull” (gabian) with “un gars bien” (a nice guy). It’s basically Naud in a nutshell: a free-spirited, big-hearted artist who wants to spread good vibes, reckless creativity, and a touch of joyful madness. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s also launched an Un Gars Bian t-shirt line, because what’s better than wearing your philosophy on your sleeve, literally? Grab yours here!
So, are you ready to embrace the joyful chaos? Un Gars Bian is the perfect excuse to dance like nobody’s watching and live life with a little more mischief. Let’s gooo!
