Pumarosa share ‘Cecile’ video

Pumarosa are on a flawless streak so far with just two singles to the good, and now, their second, ‘Cecile’ has a video. Donning virtual reality headsets, puffing merrily away on vapes, and even turning themselves into strange, computerised likenesses, it’s a glitchy holographic bundle of weird.

Describing the bizarre visual in a press release, the band said “We are at a point in time where virtual reality technologies are going to become commonplace. The ‘Cecile’ video is a playful exploration of this, and how desire might lead us into other worlds.”

‘Cecile’s director Rebecca Salvadori added “we are alone and simultaneously together in dealing with a river of images that constantly submerge us. The ‘Cecile’ video is an experiment towards a constructed visual chaos.”

Isabel Munoz-Newsome and co. first put out ‘Cecile’ earlier this year, following on from their debut single ‘Priestess’. It came complete with a epically proportioned saxophone solo to boot. “A finely woven net of big ideas,” we wrote in our review, “it’s impossible not to get caught up.” The band play a London show at the ICA on May 7th.

We recently sat down with Pumarosa to make sense of their downright strange beginnings - from Italian cinema-dwelling hermits, to wandering soap inventors. Read that Neu interview right here, and watch the new ‘Cecile’ video below.
