Alt-rock duo Pseudopomp, featuring Greek musician Iosif and British-Bulgarian artist Katerina, has made waves in the indie music scene with the release of their highly anticipated sophomore single, “Only Just.” Following the success of their debut track “23,” the duo continues to captivate audiences with their unique blend of spooky alt-rock and unconventional songwriting. The new single promises to further establish their distinctive sound and emotional depth, drawing listeners into their haunting musical world.
Formed in London’s vibrant music scene, Pseudopomp emerged from spontaneous late-night jam sessions after rehearsals for their previous band. This organic collaboration has allowed them to craft a sound that is both eerie and compelling, marked by unsettling melodies and off-kilter rhythms. The first batch of recordings, including “Only Just,” stems from these impromptu sessions, showcasing the duo’s creative synergy and innovative approach to music-making. Their ability to blend various influences has set them apart in a crowded genre.
“Only Just” takes an unconventional approach to love, presenting an anti-love song that explores the confusion and frustration of falling head over heels. Musically, the track combines dark yet melodic alt-rock elements, underscored by haunting riffs that evoke a sense of emotional unrest. A pivotal moment occurs at 2:28, where faint piano notes signal a climactic realization for the narrator—an acknowledgment that heartbreak is an inevitable part of their journey. This introspective moment serves as a testament to Pseudopomp’s lyrical depth and storytelling ability.
In preparation for their upcoming release, the duo has once again collaborated with producer Ben “Faz” Farestvedt, recording all the instruments for the new track. This summer, they have been actively engaging with fans through a series of acoustic gigs across London, showcasing their dynamic stage presence. As they rehearse with a full band to bring their atmospheric songs to life, Pseudopomp is poised to become one of the most exciting new acts in the indie scene, with “Only Just” set to resonate deeply with listeners seeking raw emotion and authenticity in music.
