Hear pôt-pot’s new psych-rock groove, “Sextape”

On September 19, Irish/Portuguese band pôt-pot will release their debut album Warsaw 480km via felte. And today, they’ve released the first single from the album, “Sextape.” It’s a hypnotic psychedelic rock jam with a deep groove that recalls a more pop-friendly Bardo Pond, Emperor Tomato Ketchup-era Stereolab, or Primal Scream’s darker turn in the late ’90s.

The lyrics also stem from themes of trust between people — a quiet, unspoken understanding of each other’s idiosyncrasies – ‘You don’t have to say what you are, I already know…’ repeated over and over.”
