'No one sounds like Priya Ragu', with her unique, genre-blurring raguwavy sound and a voice that blends eloquence, majesty and attitude in equal measure.

The budding band SONS is making a name for itself nationally and internationally as it leaves a trail of ‘what the hell was that?’ behind. Explosive energy rips the air apart.

“If you have a vacancy for Favourite New Band, Pom Poko would like to apply for the role,” tweeted Tim Burgess in April last year, as Norway’s finest punk-pop anti-conformists, revisited their joyous debut album, Birthday, for one of Tim’s mood-lifting Twitter listening parties. Pom Poko pimps their CV on all fronts with their glorious second album, Cheater, released on Bella Union in January 2021. Between the quartet’s sweet melodies, galvanic punky ructions and wild-at-art-rock eruptions, Cheater is the sound of a band celebrating the binding extremes that make them so uniquely qualified to thrill: and, like Tim’s listening party, to fulfil any need you might have for a pick-you-up.

Her mission to place South Asian producers on the map is prominent throughout her sets and mixes, including her Boiler Room debut alongside Daytimers.
