Band of the week: Pumarosa

Image: Pumarosa

A seven-minute stretch of spiritual sonics, pulsating rhythms and pristine vocals is all it took for Pumarosa to ignite their uprising with first track 'Priestess'. 

Next came the East London quintet's latest single 'Cecile' (listen below), where they honed a far more danceable approach. Built bottom up with rapid-fire snares, the track channels jiving synths, perky rhythms and eventually a flight of subway jazz. 

It all sounds so straight-forward for a band able to mould delectable vocals to well-mapped arrangements, though lead Isabel Munoz-Newsome would probably tell you otherwise. 

After dabbling in various other musical projects, the band formed bit by bit until eventually becoming one irresistible force.

And while there's still an air of mystery about their vision and capabilities, they've conjured enough substance in two songs to pique the gaze of many - which is a far-reaching statement in itself.

Next up for the five-piece is a run of live dates, including appearance's at The Great Escape, Sounds From The Other City in Salford and later a newly-announced date at Latitude.
