Recorded in the spring of 2008 at the now legendary Hotel2Tango studio in Montreal, Canada, with producer Murray Lightburn (singer/song-writer/producer of the Dears) Pony Up’s latest release, Stay Gold, is without question their most cultivated, mighty and romping release to date. Fusing the playful and satirical energy of their self-titled debut with the melancholic introspection of Make Love to the Judges with your Eyes the ladies have forged a true nonpareil of the late-indie scene. First breaking the songs into their smaller working parts, Lightburn has reincarnated the music in his own pop-noir-romantique image, honing and edifying the group’s arrangements and soundscapes. The sonic topography has become detailed, ornate and sprawling, if not wholly epic in its scope and ferocity. Think here of war-like Athena leading on horseback a cavalry of sirens down your aural canals to take as hostage your heart; think of the mendacious promise to which you knowingly submit, let come the deluge, let come the flame. Stay Gold, due out in spring 2009 on Laughing Outlaw Records (Australia), is Pony Up in opulent and martial array: come in, won’t you, surrender in the sultry glow.
Available digitally at www.iheartponyup.com and www.villavillanola.com and in Montreal at Cheap Thrills, L'Oblique, Atom Heart and Phonopolis.
