Ponies In The Surf
Tue 9 Mar 2010
Crossing The Fields
Imbuing a ramshackle country quality to their magical, jangly folk pop, brother-sister duo Camille and Alexander McGregor have been making music under the heart-explodingly cute moniker Ponies In The Surf for five years. Their crafty tales are executed with swooning, sighing play off voices and gentle acoustic guitar on ‘Ventricle’, elsewhere lather on a foamy, energetic pace in the rockier ‘Holes In The Walls’. The brilliance of PITS is that they aren’t painfully cutesy or sickeningly sweet. Their songs are clever and a little bit fruity in their laid back, weird and fraying attire. Alexander, on organs, guitar, bass and cornet, sings in his boyish, conversational tone against Camille’s sweet, gentle lulls while Andrew Churchman of Pants Yell! plays minimal but energetic drums. Their songs are like old friends you’ve known all your life – comfortable to be around, fun and endearing. PITS have a few releases on Darla Records and Asaurus Records.
