Look back
To when midnights broke their sleep
Awake in our memories
Of when we would make believe

Collide
Colors of the masquerade
Watch as they fall away
Faceless under faces made

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Spring would lie in summer showers
In my hair were winter flowers

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Seasons multiplying power
That I found in winter flowers

Turn back
I see rivers beyond the line
Ancient roads in broken design
Angels running thru our minds

Look up
Your city's built on marble floors
Neon lights in the falling snow
Those night back in tokyo

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Spring would lie in summer showers
In my hair were winter flowers

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Seasons multiplying power
That I found in winter flowers

And we said
This has only just begun
In the end
Time forever favors the young

And we said
This has only just begun
In the end
Time forever favors the young

Young

Great Lake Swimmers - Don't Leave Me Hanging

Pony the Pirate is an indie rock band from Norway. Winner of NRK’s Årets Urørt 2009. They 120 concerts in two years and broke up after recording, but not releasing their second album. The eight members group shook Scandinavia with three major hits. Now the crew is reduced to a trio. From February 2015 Pony the Pirate writes the new story.

Norwegian:

Den gangen. 
Håkon Moslet, Thomas Seltzer, Christer Falck og Sigrid Hvidsten hadde enstemmig gitt urørtseieren til Pony the Pirate, Jørgen Hegstad oppdaget “Norges nye pophelter” og piratene debuterte som 4.mest spilte norske band på radio. Siden fulgte hovedscenen på Hove og alt av norske festivaler. Dette er historien om et liv i Ford Transit, på norske veier og norsk radio.

Nåtiden. 
Så flyttet piraten selv inn i skogen, rykter om dype konflikter. 8-mannsband blir til 3. Pony the Pirate har funnet tilbake til den magiske kjemien før Ford Transiten kom inn i bildet, fra tiden da musikk ble spilt inn i stua i Vennesla, mellom forbipasserende tog, på billig utstyr. Joakim Johannessen, Kristian Notland Harnes og Kurt Andrè Aase pustet liv i samarbeidet, det er tid for å nyte.

Fremtiden. 
20.februar kommer to låter. Det kommer mer også, inspirasjonen er tilstede, livet er til tider ganske godt. Så kommer våren, da spiller vi konserter.

Mikset av Joakim Johannessen.
Produsert av Kristian Notland Harnes, Joakim Johannessen og Kurt André Aase.
Mastret av Holger Lagerfeldt.
Artwork av Solveig Wiig.

--
Like a spotlight the water hits me
Ran it extra cold to shake the words from my mouth
Though I know that no one’s listening
I nervously rehearse for when you’re around

And I keep waiting like you might change my mind

Who wrote the book on goodbye?
There's never been a way to make this easy
When there’s nothing quite wrong but it don't feel right
Either your head or your heart, you set the other on fire

Back and forth now I'm feelin' guilty
Cause I just can’t stop this pendulum in my head
Though I know that our time is ending
I’d rather lay forever right in this bed

And I keep waiting like, you might change my mind
Give me one more night

We fell from the peak
And the stars, they broke their code
I’m trying to forget
How I landed on this road
I’m caught in between
What I wish and what I know
When they say that you just know

Escondido is Nashville, TN based artists Jessica Maros and Tyler James. Recorded live in a single day, their debut album, The Ghost of Escondido, was released to critical acclaim. Their David Lynch approved sound became the soundtrack to multiple films and TV shows including HBO's Girls and Sex Tape and led to performances on Conan and ABC's Nashville. Following tours with the likes of Lord Huron, Wild Cub, and Islands, the duo recently completed their follow-up album, Walking With A Stranger, due out winter 2016

The pair met while James was recording their mutual friend at his home studio. “Jess was quietly strumming this song Rodeo Queen on the couch while everyone else was making drinks in the kitchen. I pushed record and added a little groove before folks got back in the room. Later that night we listened to it and both said ‘You wanna make a record?’” They spent the next two months crafting the songs and bonding over a shared love of spaghetti westerns and songwriters from the 70’s. “We’d put on Ennio Morricone every morning,” says Maros. “It’s an easy process when you both love the same stuff.”
 
While Escondido’s sophomore album retains their southwest fantasia, swirling trumpet, and slow-motion reverb, the approach has changed. “Our first record was lightning in a bottle,” says James. “This time around was a hibernation so we could dig into the arrangements and sounds.”  After fleshing out the demos, the band returned to The Casino studio in Nashville and recruited drummer Evan Hutchings and guitarist Scotty Murray to help them lay the records foundation. The duo then spent the following months hunkered in James’ bedroom studio, with James adding guitars, bass, trumpet, and keyboards. They then recorded vocals in a rented cabin south of Nashville and made final tweaks at Wax LTD. Studios in Hollywood, CA. The result is a complex landscape ranging from the aggressive noir of “Footprints” and “Heart is Black” to the love lost ballad “Try”.  “We weren’t as precious about all the tracks being stylistically cohesive,” says Maros "We just focused on writing good songs that come from an honest place”.

The making of their new record plus extensive touring did eventually take a toll on the band’s relationship. The two agreed that they needed some time apart so Maros moved to LA while James stayed in Nashville.  “There was a time where writing music was the only way we communicated.” says James. That distance is reflected in the songs on Walking With A Stranger. “This record’s lyrics describe the loneliness you feel when with you’re with someone everyday,” says Maros. “The natural tug-of-war between a man and a woman.”  The band eventually worked through their differences months later on a camping trip to Death Valley. They drove to the middle of nowhere to find what inspired them in the first place. “It took us being apart to appreciate our differences,” reflected James. “Music helps us forget the very conflict it grows out of. My favorite songs embrace that dissonance." The result is their follow album, Walking With A Stranger due out this February on their own label, Kill Canyon.
