After drawing comparisons to MJ Lenderman, David Berman and Sparklehorse, Aotearoa songwriter Peter McCall delivers his second full-length album as Fazed on a Pony. A local mix of wry humour, Pavement-leaning tuneful indie rock and pedal steel goodness, swan is coming this month via the good sorts at Melted Ice Cream, just for you. - Flying Out
Fazed on a Pony is the alt country/indie rock recording project of New Zealand songwriter Peter McCall. swan is his second full-length album.
On swan McCall sings with emotional immediacy, warmth, and wit about living honestly in the face of inevitable uncertainty and disappointment. McCall’s mix of wry humour, sincerity, and melodic instinct has drawn comparisons to MJ Lenderman, David Berman, and Sparklehorse. However, Fazed on a Pony lives within its own antipodean aesthetic and sound.
Sonically, swan sees Fazed on a Pony expand from the Pavement-esque tuneful indie rock of previous releases to include pedal steel, fiddle, drum machines, and synthesisers. While there is a diversity of style, the album is rooted in the hallmarks of McCall’s music: uplifting and catchy guitar lines that serve the song, paired with arrangements that feel both comfortable and surprising. Where the lyrics tell a sad story, the music betrays that it might just be okay in the end.
