PUMICE’s rollicking brand of loner DIY—precariously devoid of gratuitous pose—is a colorful, desolate soundworld unto itself. Pebbles offers the unlikely marriage of astute refinement and wild abandon, with songs uplifting and sincere, yet dark with oddball substance to spare. Self-recorded, committed to 8-track tape and mastered by PETE SWANSON (YELLOW SWANS), resulting in the biggest-sounding record in the Pumice canon. The small silver guitar remains at the fore, only now the signature Pumice sound is presented in startling clarity, augmented by NEVILLE’s booming drums, piano flourishes and tape manipulations.
