pôt-pot

pôt-pot is a Lisbon-based Irish quintet known for their hypnotic blend of psychedelic rock and krautrock, characterized by propulsive motorik rhythms, harmonium drones, and lush vocal harmonies. The band evolved from solo demos by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Mark Waldron-Hyden during a personal period of grief, growing into a full group featuring members Mykle Oliver Smith, Joe Armitage, Elaine Malone, and Sara Leslie. Their music captures a raw, immersive atmosphere, mixing avant-garde experimentalism with rich textures and emotional depth.

After releasing their debut EP *Ode To A* in 2023, pôt-pot continued building momentum with the critically acclaimed *Going Insane* EP in 2024. Their debut album, *Warsaw 480km* (2025), showcases their unique sound via ten tracks that are both cathartic and vibrant, with songs inspired by personal stories, such as the poignant single "WRSW," which reflects on Waldron-Hyden's journey to deliver his father’s ashes. The band has garnered praise for their live performances across Ireland, the UK, and Portugal, and they recently signed to the LA-based label Felte Records, marking them as a compelling presence in the psych-rock scene.
