Pokus “Pokus Two”

The best way I can describe Pokus aesthetic is that it’s like if the rhythm section of Fugazi was playing with a keyboard player who sometimes sounded a bit like Sun Ra when he was messing around synthesizers and overdriven electric organs in the late ’70s and other times was more along the lines of late ’90s IDM-aligned electronic music. It’s an extremely cool sound, and the band does enough with it to hold attention through a six track suite. The recording has a good live feel to it – there’s a firm structure to the bass, but it sounds like the keyboard parts are at least somewhat improvised in the moment and you can feel the chemistry between the three players.

Buy it from Bandcamp.
