A gig held at Strange Brew on Saturday 31st October. The event starts at 19:00.
Blending psychedelic textures, jazz-inflected harmony and richly layered songwriting, Pocket Sun continue to establish themselves as one of the most distinctive acts in the UK's alternative pop scene, with a sound that feels both nostalgic and futuristic.
Following their acclaimed debut album Mirror In Blue Light (2024), which received support from BBC Introducing, CLASH and NPR and introduced the band to audiences across the UK and beyond, Pocket Sun return in 2026 with their new album Watercolours. A bold evolution of their immersive, dreamlike sound.
Spearheaded by vocalist and visual artist Gina Marie Tratt, Pocket Sun’s creative world is shaped by her soft vocals, visual artistry and unique vision. With guitarist and producer Laurence Fazakerley-Buglass bringing detailed production, engineering and sonic depth to the band’s evolving sound, Pocket Sun create music that balances intricate arrangements, hypnotic grooves and a deep sense of atmosphere.
Joined by Hugh Sarjeant on drums, Seb Schofield on bass and Rob Burr on keyboards, the band’s collective musicianship and creative chemistry have shaped a live show that captures the energy, colour and spontaneity of their recordings.
Through dream-like melodies and lyrical explorations of escapism, consciousness and memory, Pocket Sun have built a sonic world that feels entirely their own.
Their 2026 tour celebrates the release of Watercolours, inviting audiences into Pocket Sun’s most introspective and captivating chapter yet.
