poney poney


apparently this outfit started as a one-man band with an ipod playing the part of drummer and bassist, thankfully the ipod was stolen and a real band emerged. that infamous sound created by french duo justice has been dominating airwaves over the past year; whether that sound was actually coming from the pair or simply from all of the imitating artists trying to recreate that same sound remains to be seen. admittedly, poney poney are doing near enough the same thing, but this band are bringing that distorted electro and those hard-hitting snares into more of a rock scenario. one of their few tracks so far stands above the rest, 'cross the fader', in which they even recieved recording and production help from xavier de rosnay. apparently they're making an album, i'm not sure whether i could stand an album entirely comprised of this sound alone, but nevertheless this is a song to dance to in the summer.
