Manchester-based five-piece Pomona have made a striking return with their latest single, Double Yellows. Driven by jagged guitar riffs and swirling melodies, the track builds with intensity, gradually unfolding into a euphoric climax where hazy vocals and layered guitars collide in a powerful crescendo. A song that the band says is “about the quiet frustration of unacknowledged effort”, Double Yellows follows leak-released EP tracer flare, Saga, released in May. Joe Boxall, lead singer, says of Double Yellows: “At its core, ‘Double Yellows’is about unreciprocated effort: raising your voice and hearing no sound back, staking your claim and realising no one’s listening. The track paints a picture of someone trapped in a loop of persistence, trying, failing, rebuilding, while carrying the weight of unacknowledged sacrifice. There’s a quiet defiance in that cycle, though. The repeated line “I want to make you proud” isn’t just desperate, it’s resilient.” Take a listen for yourselves below.
