Erotic Secrets of Pompeii

Erotic Secrets of Pompeii bring their hallucinogenic art rock to Rough Trade on Friday 17th October, to launch their new album Pitchfork Libra. A chaotic, catchy amalgamation of angular genres, dragged through the dirt and sprinkled in glitter.

Pitchfork Libra hosts a collection of songs that continues headstrong into ESOP's absurd, occult world – visiting twisted psychological locales from the feverish hysteria of the Dancing Plague of 1518 to the esoteric trials of Robert Anton Wilson’s Chapel Perilous.

Pitchfork Libra explores the eternal cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth – a serpent devouring its own tail. A baroque collision of the medieval and the futuristic.

ESOP's music has received airplay from BBC Radio 6, Radio X & BBC Introducing, and the band have played major festivals such as Boomtown, The Great Escape, Shambala & Bearded Theory, along with supporting Heavy Lungs, Joe & The Shit Boys, and Electric Six.

Their surreal, frenetic take on rock is like nothing else out there! Come and join in the cosmic tantrum!
