What The Pop Group makes
Topics post-punk, music, experimental, dub, vinyl
The Pop Group formed in Bristol in 1977 out of a sense of disenchantment with the increasing conservatism of punk. Drawing on an eclectic range of influences, from free jazz, conscious funk, heavyweight dub to avant-garde experimentalism, they were at the forefront of a musical period marked out by its groundbreaking innovation, alongside contemporaries like Public Image Limited, This Heat and Throbbing Gristle. Their return represents post-punk provocation for a contemporary era. Through reissues and compilations of archival material as well as new albums Citizen Zombie (2015) and Honeymoon On Mars (2016), the group have emphatically renewed their relevance, proving as incendiary as ever. The Pop Group's resurgence has continued apace with worldwide tours as well as the definitive 40th anniversary reissue of Y in 2019 and the acclaimed release of Y in Dub in 2021, a dub reconstruction of their debut album made alongside longstanding collaborator Dennis Bovell.
