The Ponys
Turn The Lights Out
Buzz Track: Double Vision
Chicago is famous for many very cool bands, Negative Approach Big Black, Shellac, Jesus Lizard, Kepone, the list is endless. The Ponys can be added to that list, especially after you hear the follow up to their most talked about Celebration Castle from 2005. Their new album "Turn The Lights Out" released now on Matador has a psychedelic edge to an already swirling garage sound that should blow your nuts off in the most mellow way possible.
This release certainly shows the band at their very best with tracks such as the epic Double Vision, the wonderful Exile On My Street and the grinding Everyday Weapon on offer to gratify your aural needs. These were all recorded with the additional production skills of Joe Agnello (Breeders, Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth, etc) and with his input, the overall sound of this album is dirty and most rocking.
The Ponys are back with what can only be described as one of the indie rock records of 2007, look out for them as they will return to the UK in May on tour. They are also featured on this month's Crossfire Indie radio show, go tour site to stream it. "Turn The Lights Out" is out now.
