From the very first beat of Pumarosa's second album, Devastation', anyone familiar with the band can tell that a transformation has taken place. But as work began on the follow-up, life for the band shifted irreversibly; sad endings, devastating diagnoses, new beginnings and a strange optimism - the promise of what can be built only after total annihilation - all fed into a record that feels like an exhilarating affirmation of life. Set for 11/1 release via Harvest Records.
