"This song and its title is kind of describing the themes on this record: growing up, whatever that means, and finding yourself in a place where you realise you can contain a lot of different stuff at the same time" Pom Poko have shared a new single, ‘Growing Story’ and announced a UK tour for later this year. The “grungy and heavy-hitting” track is the latest cut to be taken from the band’s forthcoming album ‘The Champion’ , which will be released August 16 via Bella Union. Commenting on the track Pom Poko said: “On this album we wanted to explore simplifying our sound and make some songs a bit more grungy and heavy-hitting.
‘Growing Story’ came out of that process. “This song and its title is kind of describing the themes on this record: growing up, whatever that means, and finding yourself in a place where you realise you can contain a lot of different stuff at the same time.” Check it out below: The Norwegian band have also announced a UK tour for October – check out the dates below and buy tickets here .
