Review by Michelle Sales

Shift, the latest album by Pooka, is a mesmerizing journey through ethereal soundscapes and haunting melodies. The duo, consisting of Natasha and Seb, have created a unique and complex sound that defies easy categorization. From the opening track "Echoes," with its pulsing beats and ethereal vocals, to the dreamy "Fading Away," the album takes the listener on a sonic journey that is both otherworldly and deeply emotional.

The production on Shift is top-notch, with each track carefully crafted to create a rich tapestry of sound. The use of electronic beats and samples is seamlessly integrated with acoustic instruments such as piano and guitar, creating a lush and layered sound that is both modern and timeless. Natasha's vocals are a highlight throughout the album, with her emotive delivery adding an extra layer of depth to the already powerful music.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Hollow," a haunting ballad that showcases the duo's ability to create a deeply emotional atmosphere. The sparse arrangement and Natasha's delicate vocals combine to create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability that is both beautiful and heartbreaking.

About Pooka

Pooka is the former songwriting duo of UK guitarists/vocalists Sharon Lewis and Natasha Jones formed in 1992. Taking their name from a mythical Irish goblin that first appears friendly but has the habit of turning nasty, the duo likewise had a way of keeping their audience spellbound with sweet melodies, lush arrangements and alluring lyrics only to turn with spine-tingling vengeance toward twisted guitar chords and menacing vocal arrangements. Over the years, Pooka's music defied categorization, masterfully spanning genres from avant-folk/pop/rock to classical and electronica, thereby earning them a cultish, devoted following and underground reputation.
