Tired Pony began life as a doodle in Gary Lightbody\’s jotter. During idle moments on Snow Patrol\’s year-long tour cycle for their last album, A Hundred Million Suns, Gary began writing songs for this imaginary band.

Forward to January 4th 2010, a cast of characters assembled at Portland\’s Type Foundry studio; from the extended Snow Patrol family there was Troy Stewart, regular touring member of the band, Iain Archer, long-time Snow Patrol associate and collaborator, Richard Colburn, the renowned drummer with Belle & Sebastian, and producer Garret \’Jacknife\’ Lee, who brought in Tired Pony\’s final two members, Peter Buck from R.E.M. and Scott McCaughey, the Seattle musical polymath who\’s been R.E.M.\’s full-time auxiliary member since 1994.

Tired Pony were joined by a number of guest contributors including M. Ward and his She & Him partner Zooey Deschanel who duets with Gary on \’Get On The Road\’. \’The Good Book\’ was sung by Tom Smith of Editors, who\’s a perfect fit for the narrative\’s gothic weave of guilt and redemption.
