Pom Poko er endelig tilbake på Folken!
“The four-piece combine surreal, often stream-of-consciousness lyrics with genuinely unpredictable garage rock... it’s the victorious sound of a band still having fun.” - The Guardian 4 av 5
Spellemann-nominasjoner, Gramart-stipend, nominasjoner til Bendiksenprisen, Edvard-prisen og Nordic Music Prize, utsolgte konserter rundt om i Europa, spillelistinger på radiokanaler som BBC6, Triple J og flere, og ikke minst: en fantastisk mottakelse av debutalbumet Birthday som blant annet ble kåret til "Årets beste norske album" i Aftenposten.
Pom Poko har i tillegg til å markere seg med sine utgivelser også gjort seg godt bemerket som et av Norges mest unike liveband. Nå er bandet endelig tilbake med sitt tredje album, "Champion", som bl.a har fått terningkast 5 i Aftenposten, 4 av 5 i Mojo, og 4 av 5 i The Guardian - så gjør dere klare for en forrykende konsert i november!

Pressen sier:
“Inventive, melodic post-punk... The band’s third album is their most focussed and fully realised to date.”
The Sun – 4 stars ****
“Champion is the sound of a band fully focused and completely in control of what makes them special.”
MusicOMH – 9/10
“An ode to their time spent together and to the music and memories forged... They retain that spunk that Pom Poko have become known for, but they’re imbued with a new heart and honesty.”
Far Out Magazine – 4 stars ****
“As on ‘Big Life’, there are still instances of thrilling freneticism, but this LP is often more cleanly directional, as with the sweet vocal / guitar chimes on ‘Bell’. The title track is weightlessly delightful, with Ragnhild Fangel’s vocals alternately cute and melancholy – with echoes of Emiliana Torrini, Stina Nordenstam and Bjork.”
MOJO – 4 stars ****
“While Birthday (2019) and Cheater (2021) were bursts of frenetic, art-punk madness, Champion marks a deliberate shift toward something more refined and emotionally rich. Not just a progression from their earlier works, Champion is a heartfelt expression of where Pom Poko are now, showing us who they are with an honesty and maturity that’s both refreshing and profound.”
God Is In The TV – 8/10
“Norway’s excellent post-punk quarter are on top form, expertly producing big hooks and confident compositions... a band going from strength to strength.”
HiFi Choice – 5 stars *****
“The musical equivalent of a firework display, the third album from Norwegian art-poppers Pom Poko is bright, energised and unstoppable... With the effervescent Champion, Pom Poko have found themselves.”
The Arts Desk – 4 stars ****
“A power-pop tour de force, energetic and imaginative... Champion expands their sonic palette with some of their most anthemic and gorgeous songs to date.”
Narc – 4.5 / 5
“Pom Poko are extremely talented musicians... On Champion there is a confidence and ease on display, together with a heightened melodicism twinned with showers of rhythmic craziness, that make for a winning combination... By any definition, it is definitely champion.”
