Pocket Sun

Hailing from a dreamy, synth-driven soundscape, Pocket Sun combines ethereal melodies and hypnotic grooves that invite listeners to drift into a surreal, synaesthetic experience. Fronted by vocalist and synth player Gina Marie Tratt, whose background in 70s-inspired animation shapes the band’s aesthetic, each release is a seamless fusion of sound and visual storytelling. Lyrically, Pocket Sun delves into themes of escapism, consciousness, and nostalgia, adding a poetic depth that resonates universally.

Pocket Sun’s debut full-length album, Mirror In Blue Light, released in September 2024, marks an exciting new chapter for the Bristol-based band. To celebrate its launch Pocket Sun capped off the year with a series of immersive live performances that have captivated audiences across the UK.

In the months following the release of Mirror In Blue Light, the band received significant support from the likes of CLASH, B24/7, Fame Magazine, Crack Magazine, and international radio play from Nashville to Japan. These milestones have helped build strong momentum around the album, which draws from the band’s signature blend of alternative pop, psychedelia, and jazz.

Pocket Sun’s previous EP, Binocular, featured the lead single “Wake Up,” produced by Ali Chant (known for his work with PJ Harvey, Portishead, and Gruff Rhys) and re-released on Kitsuné, aligning the band with acts like Hot Chip, La Roux, and Two Door Cinema Club. This EP helped solidify the band’s evolving sound and vision.

Alongside four years of releasing singles, EPs and their debut album, Pocket Sun has crafted a distinctive live show, featuring custom animations, slick stage-craft and even their very own scent ‘Memory Lane’.
