New Release: “Divided” by Punko

Experience post break-up freedom with Punko's debut single.

2021 is looking like a phenomenal year for local synth-pop. Just a couple of weeks ago, These New South Whales' frontman Mossy released a Kate Bush-esque masterpiece Shade, Flyying Colours shared a fantastic shoegaze fuelled sophomore album and on Sunday, Awabakal (Newcastle) based artist Punko has delivered one of the strongest synth driven tracks of the year.

"Undivided" is a song of Freedom in theme and feeling. A track that will quiver in your ears. One you could imagine backing a dream sequence in an indie film. The Novocastrian songwriter has consciously aired a mood of positivity amongst the heartache of faded love to remind listeners of the freedom that comes after the initial fear of ending a relationship.

"Something got split in two/ Taken with it, my love for you," is the meditative mantra that speaks to you so directly as a listener. But regardless of the romantic stage you're experiencing as you read this, Punko has expressed their heart's moment beautifully.
