Riots EP by Pomegranate Sounds
Pomegranate Sounds triumphantly returns in 2023, in true outernational style, with its debut 12” release: POMS007, the Riots EP.
The Riots EP features two conscious collaborations with Scottish vocalist Vixen Sound: “Ostrich” and “Starting Riots”. The former, a ska-tinged steppers discomix, modernizes the adage about burying
one’s head in the sand for this era of misinformation and willful ignorance. The latter, a heavyweight roots relick, demands societal
accountability atop an over-driven bassline, with an ensuing dub that is haunting yet playful.
Featuring production work from both sides of the Pomegranate Sounds label crew, this is primed for the sound system. French duo ►►△ [Tree-Angles] handled the A-side, while American The Groove Thief linked up with old friend Scotty McD for the B-side. The artwork is a collage by Tree-Angles, which boisterously represents this vocal showcase.
For press and any other inquiries, please contact PomegranateSounds@gmail.com: from Hong Kong to Colorado by way of France.
In loving memory of Robin DubKong MacDonald. Silence never started riots.
