Album of the Week: Fazed on a Pony - 'swan'

95bFM Album of the Week: Fazed on a Pony - 'swan'

Giddy up! Fazed on a Pony are back with brand new album swan, and it’s a doozy.

This new body of work will see McCall, with bandmates Rassani Tolovaa, Hamish Morgan, and Shaun Malloch, expand from the Pavement-esque tuneful indie rock of previous releases to include pedal steel, fiddle, drum machines, and synthesisers. While there is a diversity of style, the album is rooted in the hallmarks of McCall’s music: uplifting and catchy guitar lines that serve the song, paired with arrangements that feel both comfortable and surprising. Where the lyrics tell a sad story, the music betrays that it might just be okay in the end.
 

Out on January 23rd, wherever good music is found.
