Pom Poko - Cheater

It’s always a shrewd move to release an album in early January.

New releases generally dry up before the festive period, for good reason. The charts are clogged up with Best Ofs or new releases by older acts (looking at you, Mr. McCartney) with the very obvious intention of becoming Christmas presents for the older generation, and so ‘standard’ album releases struggle to be heard amid the festive noise.

Fans of new music are therefore starved for over a month, so January often benefits from the demand of salivating indie kids, with the added benefit of slightly more exposure for artists than they may get later in the year.

Good things come to those who wait, and whilst on Friday 15th January middleweights Sleaford Mods and Shame unveil their latest offerings, Pom Poko also take a shot at the now traditional ‘early album of the year’ accolade.
