Review by Kristina King

Pocket Burger’s Self-Titled Debut: A Pop Gem from 2015 That Still Slaps Let’s cut to the chase—Pocket Burger’s self-titled album (yeah, they didn’t even bother with a fancy name) is one of those sneaky-good records that creeps up on you. Released in 2015 under Les Disques Anonymes, this French pop project feels like the musical equivalent of finding an old Polaroid in your jacket pocket years later. It’s nostalgic but fresh, kinda quirky but still smooth. And honestly? I can’t stop thinking about it. First off, let’s talk Internet Anthem. This track hits hard because it somehow captures the chaotic energy of being online before doomscrolling became a thing. The synths bounce around like rogue Wi-Fi signals, and the lyrics are just cryptic enough to make you feel smart while nodding along. Plus, who doesn’t love a song that makes you feel like you’re surfing cyberspace in slow motion? Every time I hear it, I’m reminded why I both adore and despise social media—it’s catchy as hell but leaves me feeling slightly existential afterward. Classic paradox. Then there’s Magic All Around, which sounds exactly how its title implies—a glitter bomb exploding in your ears. There’s something oddly comforting about how unapologetically optimistic it is. Like, imagine if rainbows had a soundtrack; this would be it. But here’s the kicker—it never crosses into cheesy territory. Instead, it’s got this understated charm that sticks with you long after the final note fades. You know those songs you hum absentmindedly while brushing your teeth? This is one of them. The rest of the album isn’t too shabby either. Tracks like Radical Blue and Jetlag bring their own vibes, mixing dreamy melodies with just enough edge to keep things interesting. Even :( ( manages to tug at your heartstrings without saying much at all—proof that sometimes silence speaks louder than words. What really stands out about Pocket Burger is how effortlessly they blend genres. Is it pop? Sure. But it’s also got hints of indie rock, synthwave, and maybe even a dash of lo-fi coffee shop vibes. It’s like they took everything cool from the ‘80s and ‘90s, threw it into a blender, and served it up with a side of baguette. Very French, très chic. So yeah, Pocket Burger might not have reinvented the wheel with this album, but they sure gave it a fresh coat of paint. Listening to it feels like rediscovering an old favorite hoodie—you forgot how much you loved it until you put it back on. And now for my hot take: If Pocket Burger ever decided to drop a sequel, I’d preorder it faster than you can say “croissant.” Because let’s face it, we could all use more magic—and fewer internet-induced crises—in our lives.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: Pocket Burger, a French pop band, dropped their self-titled album in 2015 under the label Les Disques Anonymes. The album has some seriously quirky track names like “Internet Anthem,” “Challenger Disaster,” and even “:((“. It’s wild how they mix catchy pop vibes with such offbeat song titles. Feels like they’re giving us both feels *and* bops.
