Beat Mystery

VINYL FORMAT. Tracks: "Beat Mystery" b/w "Party Drip." Cold Pumas specialize in pounding, motorik repetition that grabs the groove for dear life. This new 7" on Upset! The Rhythm finds Cold Pumas at the zenith of their dance orientated weird-outs. "Beat Mystery" is an epic growing repeato-jam, echoing guitar driven along to euphoric heights with a propulsive energy. The drums hit hard into a kraut vault, shimmering away into cymbals just at the right breathing moments before the guitars pull you onwards. Towards the climax of the song Cold Pumas unleash some haunted vocal blurring before the song finally shudders into a grave. "Party Drip" is equally as restless and relentless in its kinetic punch but certainly channels a more heavy club-based ecstasy. Tumbling drums punctuate the sweet clang and lilt of the guitar work, allowing the track to slip inside a (slightly) more conventional song form occasionally without losing its four-to-the-floor spirit. Both tracks truly testify to Cold Pumas being one of the most exciting bands of the new UK underground, we're excited to hear where they go next as anything seems possible or probable even.
