Turn The Lights Out
Matador
INDIE
MATADOR RECORDS are proud to present ‘Turn The Lights Out’, the new album from the Chicago’s THE PONYS .
The Ponys' debut LP, ‘Laced With Romance’, was recorded with JIM DIAMOND in Detroit and released in 2004 to great acclaim, NME calling it "a dirty-sounding mess of post-punk choppiness, ear-searing Farfisa organ and timeless teenage snarling."
After months of constant touring, they slipped into Chicago's Electrical Studios with STEVE ALBINI for ‘Celebration Castle’, released in 2005. ROLLING STONE said, "While other indie bands fuss themselves into a lather straining to redefine the templates of 'garage rock' or 'postpunk,' The Ponys just get it the hell done."
Matador finally got their hands on The Ponys and got them in the studio with JOHN AGNELLO (SONIC YOUTH, DINOSAUR JR, THE WALKMEN and THE HOLD STEADY) to record ‘Turn The Lights Out’.
With their most brilliant batch of songs to date, plus the luxury of being able to take their time in the studio, The Ponys have turned in an ambitious, but wholly addictive, record. Sexy and exuberant, this is a sound which references so many of the great twin-guitar bands of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, but resists definition.
