Cold Pumas

COLD PUMAS (Brighton, UK)

Brighton-based trio, now a quartet, Cold Pumas released their first album, Persistent Malaise, in late 2012 (Faux Discx/Gringo Records/Italian Beach Babes, 2012).

Since then, music reviewers such as Pitchfork and the BBC have marked them out as one of the most interesting bands to have appeared recently on the UK underground scene.

“This Brighton trio picks up the rock legacy of Velvet Underground, especially the sound of White Light/White Heat, adding a perverse liking for repetition reminiscent of kraut rock. Cold Pumas demonstrate great skill in creating tension, sustaining, increasing and releasing it, with vibrant, elaborate crescendos, culminating in the hit that closes their debut album…” jenesaispop.com
