Pom Pom Squad announce new album, Mirror Starts Moving Without Me
Pom Pom Squad have announced the forthcoming album, Mirror Starts Moving Without Me, alongside the release of new single, “Spinning”.
“The song represents a moment when I was learning to cope with painful memories of the past and how they’ve shaped my future,” said Pom Pom Squad frontperson Mia Berrin. “In accepting them, I’ve been able to find more freedom and forgiveness within myself.” Pom Pom Squad has also shared the music video for “Spinning”, directed by Mia Berrin and Benjamin Lieber.
Speaking about the “Spinning” video, Berrin noted: “A lot of the lyrics on the album have to do with watching/analyzing yourself, so I knew I wanted to create a surveillance room setup for something. It turned out to be a really fun home-base for the “Spinning” video.”
Berrin elaborates on the significance of the album’s title: “the album title is inspired by a horror movie trope and relates to the uncanny feeling of seeing yourself reflected — both literally and figuratively. It was my most challenging creative experience to date and a true labor of love.”
On her creative inspirations for the album, Berrin says: “I took a lot of inspiration from my younger self on this album. I wanted to get back in touch with my creative roots. After hitting a particularly rough bout of writer’s block, I challenged myself to make a playlist of my all-time favorite songs from childhood to adulthood. It was healing in a way I didn’t expect! Before we went into the studio I made my bandmates and Cody do the same, then we all listened to each other’s and had a long conversation about them. Through the sessions for Mirror we were all pulling references from our collective playlists more than anything else.”
The forthcoming album follows 2021's Death of a Cheerleader.
