For more than three years, Melbourne-based Black Pony Express have been honing their sound and gathering a loyal following around Australia’s premier indie venues and through extensive interstate tours.
By turns melancholy and whimsical, Love in a Cold Place is the band’s first full-length release. It contains 12 crafted tracks of melodramatic Australian pop, with influences as diverse as Augie March, Tom Waits, Sparklehorse and Pink Floyd.
Engineered and co-produced by Simon Grounds (Underground Lovers, Snout, Bird Blobs etc), Love in a Cold Place sits comfortably alongside such classic Australian bands as The Triffids and The Go-Betweens and yet is unique enough to stand as a great release in its own right.
Black Pony Express are a six piece band - violin/piano/guitars/bass drums with 2 singers - male and female. They have played most of Melbourne's premier music venues - The Corner, Esplanade, Rob Roy, Empress, The Retreat, Pony and many more.
It's alt-country, but not as you know it. In fact, it's more alt-blues-country-gospel-rock. Partly about Katrina Morgan's bow (always the cute violin player) but more about the dressed-in-impeccable-black Justin Cusack, rampaging across the front of the stage with just a touch of Cave or Cash or Cage (Johnny). They begin coaxing sounds from their instruments, sneaking up on you until they're ripping the place apart. More appreciated in Europe than here, don't make them go overseas again for an album release.
