Jetstream Pony’s debut self-titled LP has just landed and, as you would expect, it’s a corker. It’s been spinning all week, it’s more addictive than crack co***ne and I should know. My current fav tune is “The Very Eyes Of Night” which apart from a brilliant title also has the zeitgeisty refrain of “sometimes I’m happy on my own”. I love the beautiful juxtaposition of Beth’s otherworldly vocals with the band’s ramshackle, indie pop paradiso. Also, and I could be wrong, does it have echoes of the British folk renaissance a la Fairport Convention. Anyone? No?
In any event, I was more than chuffed when Shaun Charman did a wee Q&A for us.
"Ronny is great, looking forward to going back to Augsburg when things get back to normal. It’s great being involved with them and bands like The BV's and Pale Lights, and now Shelflife in the US too, with lots of other great bands like Close Lobsters, Even As We Speak, and… um, The Luxembourg Signal and The Fireworks! We’re also doing a single later in the year for Spinout Nuggets, letting loose in a slightly different style (I’ll just leave that there, but very happy with that too!)."
The record is out now via Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten and Shelflife Records. Check it out.
