Pozi + Prayer Tech

Divine Schism are stoked to be working with Pozi and Prayer Tech on their autumn tour - both bands celebrating new releases!

Pozi are a South London trio - Toby Burroughs (drums/vocals), Rosa Brook (violin/vocals) and Frank Lindsay (bass/vocals) - making tense, propulsive indie pop that strips away guitars in favour of churning violin, tightly wound bass and urgent, tumbling rhythms. Emerging with the politically charged minimalism of PZ1 and evolving through the more expansive, textural world of Smiling Pools, their music balances philosophical weight with wiry energy and dark humour, shifting from direct confrontation to a more ambiguous, impressionistic take on modern anxiety. Following Smiling Pools, the band have developed a new body of work that pushes their previous album's emotive landscape into more direct and playful territory, now being performed live as they continue to stretch beyond the post-punk tag and into something more exploratory.

Prayer Tech is a new project featuring current and past members of Pozi, Keg and Blue Bendy. Drawing from the sounds of emo, post-hardcore and psychedelia the 3 mutate clashing opposites together, sincerity and pretence, open guitar and discordant bass riffs. Theyre first album is set to be released this year, recorded at crypt studios, the sound is raw yet ethereal in places, at once immediate but also not afraid of a euphoric chorus.
