Today, Pom Pom Squad announces a 28-date cross-country headlining tour in support of their highly-anticipated forthcoming LP Mirror Starts Moving Without Me, out October 25th via City Slang.
Spotify Presale runs on Thursday, September 19 from 10am EST–10pm EST, while Public On-Sale launches Friday, September 20 at 10am Local.
The tour, which opens on February 26th in Philadelphia and concludes with a homecoming performance at Brooklyn’s Music Hall Of Williamsburg on April 4th, will hit major markets across the lower 48, with performances in New Orleans, Nashville, LA, Washington DC, and more. Full dates below.
Pom Pom Squad’s 2021 album ‘Death of a Cheerleader’ may have been heralded as one of 2021’s standout indie rock debut records, but with ‘Mirror Starts Moving Without Me’ (announced on July 30th), the band is vehemently disavowing the expectations laid upon them, delivering a body of work that self-examines one’s own limits of identity… before taking a massive sledgehammer to any walls boxing them in.
Pom Pom Squad previously teased ‘Mirror Starts Moving Without Me’ with the release of “Downhill”, a cheeky yet cutthroat look at the dualities of life’s obstacles and changes. “I was thinking a lot about the push-pull between those opposing sides of my personality, said Mia Berrin. “Sometimes being ambitious feels like being self-destructive and I wanted to explore the line between the two.”
“Downhill” was immediately met with critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone calling the track “a grunge-y summer stunner”, PAPER saying it’s “a strong return from the band, rife with all the angst, wit and grit,” and the NY Times saying it “balances between regrets and the perverse pleasures of self-destruction.”
Elsewhere on the album finds Pom Pom Squad embracing their seductive campiness on “Street Fighter”, unleashing a ferocious bite on “Villain”, experimenting with where angst and pop collide on “Messages”, and exposing Berrin’s most vulnerable personal reflections on the lullaby-esque “Montauk”. But while the tracks of ‘Mirror Starts Moving Without Me’ unfurl like unique chapters in a book, they are all beautifully corseted together by Berrin’s songwriting which meets new artistic highs as she unravels her own meaning amidst sudden fame, euphoric peaks, and self-destructive spirals.
