Pondarosa

Returning with their new summer single, 'Sunbeams', on May 21st; Pondarosa are a band in transition, on a mission.

Evolving once again from their roots to build on the new synth-heavy sound they debuted last year, the four-piece return with a summer anthem that is comfortably their poppiest, catchiest number to date. Once again teaming up with trusted friend and producer Matt Heap of Suff Studio, the band have laid down a statement of intent with their first release of 2021.

Finding a sweet spot between the sunshine-psych of <a href="spotify:artist:5INjqkS1o8h1imAzPqGZBb" data-name="Tame Impala">Tame Impala</a> and the synth-forward indie pop of <a href="spotify:artist:22RISwgVJyZu9lpqAcv1F5" data-name="Blossoms">Blossoms</a> (plus nods to <a href="spotify:artist:0yNLKJebCb8Aueb54LYya3" data-name="New Order">New Order</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3oKRxpszQKUjjaHz388fVA" data-name="Parcels">Parcels</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3oDbviiivRWhXwIE8hxkVV" data-name="The Beach Boys">The Beach Boys</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:09hVIj6vWgoCDtT03h8ZCa" data-name="A Tribe Called Quest">A Tribe Called Quest</a>) ‘Sunbeams’ bursts forth with a glistening summer sheen that harks back to the past whilst yearning for the future. It might be rooted in inspirations of the past, but ‘Sunbeams’ is infused with a feeling that’s very much happening right now.

The wait continues for their eagerly anticipated gig supporting <a href="spotify:artist:7Jsx5mYnjBs9G7bkq1JLVz" data-name="The Cheap Thrills">The Cheap Thrills</a> at Liverpool’s prestigious Arts Club, but the band have spent the time away from live music honing their craft in the studio and preparing a fresh setlist which will make their return to the stage unmissable. Pondarosa are starting to establish a sound that’s been long in the making, but is only just beginning.
