NEWSIC: Motopony



As their KCRW session clearly notes, Motopony loves to be mysterious; so, we won't play around and pretend we know anything about them. On the track below, "King of Diamonds," from their self-titled debut, you can get a good sense of the band's persona. They have a folk based sound but include some pop elements to brighten their bluesy rythyms and then top it all off with thoughtful and intriguing lyrics. Some of their sound reminds me of a lighter Broken Social Scene and the lead singer's guiding voice points to Sam Beam's of Iron & Wine.
