Pope
Joan are a 4-piece avant-pop band based out of Brighton,
England. They create intricate blasts of Fugazi and Pixies inspired
spiky post-punk utilizing ambient walls of processed guitar noise, furious
drum lines and quirky 8-bit synth keyboards, all of which are underpinned
by an incredibly demanding pop sensibility.
With this, their
debut mini-album ‘Hot Water, Lines and
Rickety Machines’, Pope Joan have created a breathless
assemblage of 8 tracks recorded over one hectic weekend. This collection
of songs reflects the refinement of their sound and combines unforgettable
pop-hooks with the lo-fi immediacy of their raw essence. The result
is a firm introduction to a band with wide-reaching ambitions and a
bucketful of great ideas.
Effortlessly
bridging the gap between searing punk-noise and glistening pop melody,
and with an acerbic wit of impressively far-reaching proportions, Pope
Joan are a force to be reckoned.
