And this pressure can stomp you or lead you to higher grounds. I think Berlin is like a net spinning out of work and stressful as any metropol city is.

Forced to develop your crafts in order to finish the job in order to earn a living… and then, at some random night your soul opens up and you start really expressing things, and creating. Sometimes you are in the midst of doing jobs you don’t really like, but you’re forced to do them. Inspiration is a very fluid process, I mean its not like I go to a concert or an exhibiton and return home afterwards and start writing music. To what extent does Berlin inspire you for your music? In Mavrud I think I can also hear more Bulgarian influences? How come?įor 9 years already… Just a place on this earth you start living, loving and creating, which over the years becomes a second home. “I remembered that I always wanted to write a song about a typical sort of wine from Bulgaria called Mavrud.” This started by me watching an interview with James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem, him sitting on that extremely ugly couch of red bull academy – that interview lead to a revealing moment for me – I remember calling up Victor my management the next day and telling him, dude, I’m making an album, bet your money on that!

I did my 10.000 hours studiotime then – kind of earned my degree as a producer there (smiles) and eventually I ended up having all these very personal songs on my hard drive – but to really wrap it up and finish it as a body of work. I was working for a long time on songs, even pre pandemic, always looking for that special blend in terms of production. Would you like to tell us a little bit about it? Your debut album “Motor Songs” is also in the wings.

I remembered that I always wanted to write a song about a typical sort of wine from Bulgaria called Mavrud – I gave it a twilightish, delirious twist, added some high snares for that outkast stankonia vibe, played a blood sex magic red hot chilli peppers baseline and … started digging it… it’s TV on the radio, meets OutKast’s BOB meeting RHCP meeting again something uniquely Bulgarian. One day I started adding verses to it and I immediatly felt the urge to take this one home, I mean really home to Bulgaria.

I had played the catchy synth line years ago on a borrowed Dave Smith synthesizer and the track was laying around on my laptop for ages. Of course in the car (smiles) or if you’re intending to have a nice backyard, – blockparty with good food and loads of red wine … How did this track come about? And what is the perfect moment to play it loud? Your new track Mavrud is a potpourri of different influences. We wanted to know more and talked to him about the feeling of home, cultural cliches and the revealing moment of making an album. After his first two singles ‘Golden Rope’ and ‘No Other Drug’, he releases his new piece Mavrud out of his upcoming debut album ‘Motor Songs’. While some people get melancholic or thoughtful, for the talented musician living in Berlin the only way is forward. And there must be several hearts beating in his chest, not questioning, just always pulling forward. “.Sofia born singer and producer Daniel Stoyanov aka Bulgarian Cartrader is a real whirlwind with an incredible energy. “Pom Poko go for broke on their debut album, throwing everything they have against the wall with There’s just so much fun to be had with the Norwegian’s art-rock band’s gloriously unhinged debut, an eccentric work that’s no slave to algorithm.”

The band then return for a run of shows as guests of label-mate Ezra Furman in November – the full live itinerary is: A busy summer in attendance at numerous European festivals is followed by a welcome return to these shores including their biggest UK show to date at London’s Scala. Pom Poko’s sweetly pop-punk melodies and disco-fried art-rock eruptions together with a sense of free-firing spirit, balls-out individuality is highlighted on Birthday and mirrored no less so in an exhilarating live set. The song was written over the course of a year, while we figured out how it should be played, before we found its final form as a Frankenstein distorted disco song about superheros and appreciating one’s legs, and recorded it as the sole inhabitants of a small northern Italian village.” Presenting some context, the band explain “Leg Day is one of our personal live favourites, because it’s so dancey and usually gets our pulse up quite a bit. Having released their debut album Birthday earlier this year through Bella Union this new track heralds news of further UK shows – including a run of dates as guests of label-mate Ezra Furman and follows previously sold-out shows at The Shacklewell Arms and The Lexington in London.

Renowned for their raucous live shows, Norwegian quartet Pom Poko today share the video for brand new track Leg Day.
