If you are not familiar with the Toronto duo PONY, I strongly urge you to get familiar. Sam Bielanski and Matt Morand make shimmery, catchy, extremely fun crunch-pop. It’s sleek and hooky, but it always feels charmingly homespun. If PONY have ever made a bad song, I haven’t heard it. The band release their sophomore album Velveteen in 2023, and it’s a banger. Since then, they’ve released a bunch of one-off singles — “Freezer,” “Every Little Crumb,” “Superglue” — and those are all bangers, too. Early next year, they’ll drop a full-length called Clearly Cursed. Be on alert for further bangers.
