"At the heart of the band is theatrically astute frontwoman Isabel Muñoz-Newsome, whose vocals swoop into terrain somewhere between Björk, Siouxsie Sioux and Florence Welch. Indeed, the latter is a good starting point for comparison, but Pumerosa’s music is less mannered. The lyrics throughout are opaque, ripe for interpretation, but delivered with suitable passion ... a big, prudently adventurous breakthrough release."
- The Arts Desk
Preceded by the singles Priestess and Honey, the debut album The Witch from London "industrial spiritual" band Pumarosa is a collection of songs that channel the undercurrents of the present day: collectivism, frustration, euphoria, feminism, politics, aggression and love. Produced by Dan Carey (Kate Tempest, Toy, Sex Witch), The Witch was a "revelatory" experience for the group members, none of whom had gone through the process of recording an album before.
"... (Dan) guided us through it, continually making it fun and experimental. Dan produces records in a very fluent way; tracking as much as possible simultaneously and often favouring the takes that weren't flawless, but contain that mysterious ingredient that makes it 'the one.'"
- Jamie Neville, guitarist
