For the uninitiated, POP Scar is the moniker for an anonymous, mask-wearing musician based in Dublin and this is his debut album. Part of an increasingly popular (and nameless) genre where anything goes, Popscars calls to mind the inventive lunacy of the likes of Jinx Lennon, and our hero flits between Spanish influences (‘That Gypsy Grin’) and stark, spoken word pieces (‘Love On Colours’) with ease. While the record might be a little too off the wall for some of the more conservative listeners, POP Scar’s debut bleeds with ambition and makes us eager to see where he goes next.
