Pony

Hiding his identity behind a fringed lone ranger mask, the enigmatic crooner delivers a stunningly romantic, queer subversion of classic American country music tropes. The record relies on his booming, Roy Orbison-esque baritone, twangy surf guitars, and sweeping, cinematic atmospheres reminiscent of 1950s spaghetti westerns. It became a massive breakout hit, celebrated for blending deep theatricality with genuine, broken-hearted sincerity.
