Pool Party Ponderosa SKU: NW5058 Barcode: 607396505814 13.00 £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: New West Released Date: 28th January 2013 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Includes Download Code Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Ponderosa\’s first album, 2011\’s Joe Chiccarelli-produced Moonlight Revival, had a southern roots rock roadhouse sound with just a touch of country thrown in, a bit like an alt-country version of the Black Crowes. The group\’s second effort, Pool Party, released just a year later, is a whole other matter. Produced by Dave Fridmann of Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev fame, Pool Party is full of echoing vocals, muted guitars, backwards guitars, dreamy keyboards, neo-psychedelic touches and an air of care and importance that puts them a lot closer on this outing to a dollar store version of the Flaming Lips than it does the Blasters, say, and it is such a pronounced change of direction, it should almost be looked at as a different band, or a second debut album. It\’s beautifully recorded, sounding like it was tracked in the angels\’ own heavenly pool room, and the vocals soar and echo in space like the angels singing, but somehow it lacks clarity, drifting along in its own sonic zone without bothering to ground itself to mere earth very often. Call it southern gothic dream pop, if you will, but this is a band that knew how to rock, and there\’s not much of that in evidence on Pool Party. The most successful tracks, like the skewed pop of \”Never Come Back\” or the R.E.M.-like title tune, still retain a little of the roots and energy the band showed on its first album. So there\’s no mistake, this is an impressive sounding album, and obviously lovingly put together, but any ragged edges that remain seem deliberately placed, and the end result is a muted soundscape that will please dream pop fans but probably won\’t get anyone up and moving their feet. The question now is, which is the real Ponderosa? Perhaps the third album\’s a charm. ~ Steve Leggett Artist Ponderosa Genre Rock And Pop Label New West Buying Options 180g 1LP Includes Download Code Format 180g , 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country USA Track Listings 01 – For Now I Am Born 02 – Black Hill Smoke 03 – Navajo 04 – Heather 05 – Never Come Back 06 – Pool Party 07 – D-Nile 08 – Get A Gun 09 – On Your Time 10 – Cold Hearted Man Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Sodastream Little By Little Rock And Pop | Sodastream Music | 1LP Released 3rd March 2017 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sodastream Little By Little £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sodastream Music SKU: SODA13LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elliott Smith Heaven Adores You Soundtrack Rock And Pop | UMe | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 14th March 2016 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elliott Smith Heaven Adores You Soundtrack £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMe SKU: 4775869 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 14th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hall and Oates Rock’n Soul Part 1 Rock And Pop | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 1st September 2016 £50.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hall and Oates Rock’n Soul Part 1 £50.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: MFSL1447 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 1st September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Hollywood Vampires Hollywood Vampires Rock And Pop | Republic | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 10th April 2024 £54.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Hollywood Vampires Hollywood Vampires £54.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Republic SKU: nn284199 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 10th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Linda Smith Till Another Time: 1988-1996 Rock And Pop | Captured Tracks | 1LP Released 12th March 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Linda Smith Till Another Time: 1988-1996 £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Captured Tracks SKU: CT335LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Audiophile Analog Collection Vol. 1 Rock And Pop | 2xHD | 180g, 1LP Released 14th February 2020 £31.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Various Artists Audiophile Analog Collection Vol. 1 £31.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 2xHD SKU: AFID1143 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th February 2020 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Slade Slade Alive!
