Virginia’s mynameisntjmack returns with ‘Pomona’, a hazy, introspective ride through California that feels like another chapter in his ongoing exploration of purpose, perception and survival. Over a woozy, jazz-inflected backdrop, he moves through themes of paranoia, self-preservation, ambition and the pressures of trying to make something from very little. His delivery remains in flow with the jazzy instrumentation, allowing lines about feeling overwhelmed by 'the programming' and watching people take from his well to sit somewhere between observation and confession.

The visuals add another layer, borrowing from the language of old black-and-white silent-film. It gives the track a sense of narrative and tension, making ‘Pomona’ feel less like a straightforward music video and more like a short film unfolding around him. There’s a rawness to mynameisntjmack’s storytelling that continues to make his work so compelling, it's introspective without feeling overly self-conscious.
