A Time and a Place

Popup live like wolves on the outskirts of popular culture, protecting a territory it would not make sense for others to invade. They arrive, like foxes, without invitation at the gates of towns and cities, hoping to be fed without fuss. They sing at times as an owl will to his prey, at times as a panda will to her reluctant mate. They are the sound of birds migrating, of nature’s irregular beat. They move like man’s heart racing, as the blood drains to his feet.

A Time and a place is an idiosyncratic and surprising listen, at times pure rock’n’roll, at other times boy-girl harmonies that recall the delgados or angular, stripped-back punk.
