THE PONYS – TURN THE LIGHTS OUT (2007) RATING
Agreed, there’s nothing unique about The Ponys’ sparse lo-fi sound, but what the Chicago four piece have in spades is an ability to use the obvious references and influences to produce music that retains enough raw edged sincerity to cut through the obvious comparisons, and third album “Turn The Lights Out” is a solid follow up to 2005’s “Celebration Castle”. Producer John Angello has streamlined the sound a l... MORE

Good Evening, Moggers! It's been a while. Life has been interesting, espescially from a musical perspective. A friend of mine gave me tons of post-rock and indie-pop lately, which I still have to really sift through. So far though, I really enjoy Broken Social Scene, Explosions in the Sky, and The Shins. Though tonight, my focus is my most recent actual purchase: The Pony's Turn The Lights Out. This delightful Chicago group has been recording music for six years no... MORE

i don't know about you, but i have obsessive tendencies. music and boyfriends (the good ones) ~ i become immersed. concerning music: i find one song that i can listen to over and over again, desperate for a bit, _then_ give the rest of the album a chance. and so it goes, i cannot give anything else a fair shot until this said obsession has subsided. it would be nice to float on and dig several songs from a band and move forward to the next band... and the next... and. i w...

As promised, here's my review of The Pony's Turn the Light s Out, to be published in the Maroon March 30th: Post-punk revival is currently dominating alternative rock, and no post-punk revivalist band right now is smarter than The Ponys. With their third album, the magnificent Turn the Lights Out, The Ponys have joined the ranks of the Big Black, Smashing Pumpkins and Liz Phair as one of the giants of Chicago alternative rock.
What strikes me most about Turn the Lig... MORE

Through my work for the college press I have obtained a copy of The Ponys' new album, Turn the Lights Out, a few weeks before it was released. While I'm not at liberty to review it yet, suffice to say it has all I've been listening to as of late, and I'll be suprised if it's not one of my favorite albums of the year come December '07. It has classic written all over it.... MORE

I haven't been around the mogos much lately ... I've been swamped with work and have had to force myself to be more disciplined when it comes to my time on mog. But fortunately I work at home, where I can be found with the volume of my stereo cranked to 11 and a non-stop parade of tunes (you know my m.o., good music only) keeping me company. Every so often I come across a song that I just can't get enough of, and this is the one that's on continuous loop this week. The Ponys... MORE

The Pony's have been a fave of mine since I heard their Jim Diamond-produced debut, 2003's Laced With Romance. The group has signed to Matador, and the third album, Turn The Lights Out, will be released March 20. Meanwhile check out this MP3 of "Double Vision," which will be on the new album: http://www.matadorrecords.com/the_ponys/music.html... MORE
