There’s a long tradition of bands that can compellingly explore the nuances of the human experience
within the confines of pop music, that can elegantly consider both the lighter and darker elements of life
through a deceptively sunny-sounding three-and-a-half-minute song. On their sophomore full-length
album, Velveteen, Toronto’s reigning power pop champions PONY manage the task with both finesse and
panache across 10 irresistibly hook-filled tracks–and further cement their place in the genre’s lineage.
Influenced by countless hours of self-reflection, literature, television, and insomnia, the record showcases
the band’s elevated sound and is their most fully-realized to date–examining the complex relationships
between longing, connection, and being true to oneself.
