Editor's review
Amid the recent spate of neo-new wave outfits, L.A.'s Pom Pom Diary stands out. While most of the current knockoffs have absorbed the genre's love of synths, they haven't quite been the right synths. Pom Pom revives New Order-style electrostatic peals and disappearing drum- plosions in tales of dramatic mourning.
Biography
While POM POM DIARY may remind you of the past it certainly has no intention of staying there. The synths are retro, the guitar is almost common and the drums are simple, infectious beats that one can dance to--but doesn't have to. New Wave is something POM POM DIARY hears a lot when they are listened to or played on the radio, then sometimes they are simply part of that all encompassing now ultra-important Indie scene. They are alternative, but they would hope you chose them first. In the end POM POM DIARY is all of these things so listen up.
