Pocket Of Lollipop’s enigmatically titled EP Number 2990 (out January 11, 2026) ends with the deliciously unusual track “Be Your Own Detective.” It sounds a little like a Tav Falco and Lydia Lunch formed an indiepop band that discarded that sound and went full weirdo psychedelic rock. But even that tortured description is only a hint at the way the song completely transforms rhythms throughout the song so that its pacing is never fully predictable even with repeating elements that characterize the song in any given moment like the repeated guitar riffs and twinkling keyboard sounds echoing ever so slightly with whimsical vocals that saunter through the first part of the song outlining games people might play and a demented bit about playing games and being put through the wringer and no cheating. It’s surreal and operates according a kind of dream logic so enjoy it for the wonderful weirdness it is and the way it demands taking it according to its own musical rules rather than the ones you’re used to in standard pop, rock or even too much of experimental music.
