Rising from London’s alternative rock scene, Pseudopomp has brought their eerie riffs and unconventional songwriting to the underground music sphere of the UK. Born out of late-night jam sessions, this musical duo has evolved organically, with Greek musician Iosif and British-Bulgarian artist Katerina’s combining to deliver a truly unique sonic offering.
Originally members of a different project, their transition from bandmates to collaborators brought an experimental approach, resulting in a sound that’s dark and compelling. This past July, Pseudopomp debuted with their single “23,” a track that quickly put them on the map of must-watch artists to arrive this year.
Capturing both the unsettling and melodic elements that define their style, “23” introduced the pair’s own take on alternative rock via a blend of charging rock energy and dual vocals. Now, Pseudopomp builds on this momentum with their sophomore single, “Only Just,” a track that frames the complexities of love with all the twisted emotions it can evoke.
“Only Just” is Pseudopomp’s anti-love song, channeling the turbulence of emotional entanglement. The track artfully recounts the protagonist’s reluctant plunge into love, capturing frustration, confusion and the sense of helplessness that often comes with it. “Only Just” leans into psych-tinged riffs and a bouncy rhythm, wrapped in a moody aesthetic.
The track is produced by Ben “Faz” Farestvedt, a collaborator who brought the duo’s gritty style to life with a punchy and gripping fashion. Brimming with anthemic vocal hooks, uptempo groove and slick guitar layers, “Only Just” sees the duo go from strength to strength on their thrilling second outing.
Throughout the summer, Pseudopomp has been making an impact across London’s indie scene with acoustic performances, sharing stripped-down versions of their songs. Currently, they’re rehearsing with a full band to bring their layered, atmospheric sound to a live setting, set to create an immersive experience that amplifies the intensity of their recorded work and we can’t wait to see what they’ve got in store for the rest of their breakout year.
