THE COURTESY GROUP
Pozi come steeped in the lineage of the very best weirdo British indie pop. The trio of drummer/vocalist Burroughs, violinist/vocalist Rosa Brook and bassist/vocalist Tom Jones have a
skittish, restless energy.
Despite drawing on influences such as Devo, Wire and Television, there are no guitars in POZI and
the space afforded by the lack of this potentially domineering component is refreshing. Instead, there’s Brook’s violin that by turn swells and stresses, either buoying proceedings along or collapsing
them into discord. Jones’ rough, scruffy basslines hold each song tightly together as all great bassists should do.
In addition to gambling addiction and debt, lyrical subjects on POZI’s 2019 debut album ‘PZ1’ range
from the Grenfell Tower tragedy of 2017 to Chinese human rights transgressions to smartphone addition and poor mental health provision, Each are unpacked vividly. Burroughs is a colourful orator
yet also direct and raw in his response to such sensitive issues. Although they share little in common musically, POZI unwittingly chime with current politicised UK indie acts du jour Idles and Sleaford Mods in distilling their anger into impactful mantra.
