Singlen 'Anchor Down' fra Popiums siste album , The Miniature Mile, har denne uken blitt valgt til 'Record Of The Week' på BBC 2 i England. 'Anchor Down' ble også på fredag (27/7) 'Record Of The Day' på Record Of The Day, som er en website for den engelske musikkbransjen (se klipp under)

Låta ble nettopp sluppet digitalt i England via selskapet Popfiction som lanserer hele albumet i England 10. september.

The Miniature Mile ble tidligere i sommer utgitt i USA (på Listening Post Records) hvor blant annet websiden til CMJ (en amerikansk utgave av by:Larm i NYC) kåret Popium til 'Band of The Month'.

"Anchor Down" by Popium

Anchor Down is the debut UK release from Norwegian five-piece Popium. Led by the robust writing of lead vocalist Frank Hammersland, which has classic Brit-influences running through it. Taken from the forthcoming The Miniature Mile album, scheduled for 10 September, it has just been given Radio 2 Record of the Week with the station fully behind Popfiction's future plans for the band in the UK. This has all the best elments of pop from the sixties onwards, and the melodic retro guitar-led sound should go down well with R2 audiences, and plenty of places besides. Over in the UK for promo at the end of August, they are actively seeking a booking agent for shows around the album and future single releases.
