Cold Pumas
Jela Hungry for Power 12”

Article written by Ged M - Dec 1, 2009

Cold Pumas are a Brighton band with a talent for repetition and noise. 'Jela' is a pounding, insistent groove, fast and jerky with a dark disco throb, a sort of danced-up Joy Division. I managed to play it at the wrong speed and it still sounded pavement-shaking amazing. 'A Tempting Haunt' is more fiercely percussive Wire-esque artrock with almost apocalyptic notes of doom. On the flipside, the remixes by Murlo and Brassica don’t replicate the originals either; 'Jela' absorbs all sorts of exotic influences, sounding like the Prodigy in grass skirts, while the mad pounding on Brassica's 'A Tempting Haunt' becomes frighteningly ominous Krautrock. Intense but exhilarating.
