Paradise
“Pop. 1280 delivers a nightmare of a record, fusing goth rock, noise, and ambient music on their third LP for Sacred Bones.”
The Horror
“The N.Y. noise-punk quart's debut LP is an unabashedly grim collection, one that conjures the dystopian futurism of an early David Cronenberg film delivered with merciless brute force.”
Paradise
“On their third album, the industrial noise-rock group Pop. 1280 get closer than ever to their Big Theme: the dehumanization at the core of the technological strides toward a Big, Bold, Bright Future, the rottenness and hollowness of a world which we’ve been told is full of promise, but in which all of those promises of economic stability and cultural prosperity are consistently broken.”
The Horror
“On their debut album, Pop. 1280 brings a dark, abrasive, and almost gothic aesthetic to the style of noise rock.”
Imps of Perversion
“Post-punk quartet Pop. 1280's new album, Imps of Perversion, showcases a more polished approach. But compared to the apocalyptic clamor of 2012's The Horror, that same crispness and clarity works against the band’s attempts to dredge up the dread.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
