Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by Cardiacs frontman Tim Smith as a supposedly distinct side project, 'Pony' is an incredibly bizarre, highly eccentric exploration of avant-garde pop[cite: 1]. The production wildly fluctuates between incredibly catchy progressive pop melodies, chaotic neo-psychedelia, and deeply surreal lyrical themes delivered by vocalist Joanne Spratley[cite: 1].
