"HAF holds heart and soul inside hands of rhythm and hope, a curious but interesting mix of mellow and melancholia - like an upbeat Dream City Film Club, a saddened Talk Talk, or Leonard Cohen cracking a smile as Lou Reed tells a joke. It's sad Britpop for happy dreamers. These thoughts drift in with the songs, but over it all is a powerful and solid style and beautiful heartfelt music."
THE BIG TAKEOVER #86

Hidden Target Recordings is thrilled to announce the debut release of Oxygenpony. ‘How Aeroplanes Fly’ is available digitally on June 26, 2020, with an acoustic companion record set for fall and a full vinyl release with both records.
 
Oxygenpony is Paul Megna, who led The Oxygen Ponies from 2006-2011. The atmospheric ‘dusk-pop’ record ‘How Aeroplanes Fly’ is the slow and steady sound of a broken heart beating itself back together. Megna produced, recorded and performed the majority of these ‘artful tracks in Dumbo, NYC. Special guests include Josh Kaufman (Bonny Light Horseman, Muzz), Phil Mossman (LCD Soundsystem, Primal Scream) and Ray Rizzo (Josh Ritter, Walter Martin).

Where's The End

The Hardest Part Of Leaving

‘Twenty One’, the first single from  ‘How Aeroplanes Fly’, was mixed by Pat Dillett (Sufjan Stevens, David Byrne, Thomas Bartlett) and is available April 17th. It’s a first-hand account of the chilly May morning Paul almost drowned in Lake Winnipesaukee, but was rescued after treading water for thirty minutes and contracting hypothermia. (He was attending Miles of Music camp for a songwriter’s workshop with Robyn Hitchcock.) When they took his pulse - Paul’s heart rate had slowed to ten beats per minute.  He wrote the majority of the song sitting on the shore that afternoon wrapped in blankets.
