Bowerbirds And Blue Things [VINYL]

Jetstream Pony combine post-punk, indie-pop and power-pop, featuring Beth Arzy (The Luxembourg Signal/Trembling Blue Stars/Aberdeen) on vocals and percussion, Shaun Charman (The Wedding Present/The Popguns/The Fireworks) on guitar and vocals, Kerry Boettcher (Turbocat) on bass, Tom Levesley on drums, and recently joined by Mark Matthews (The Dentists/The Treasures Of Mexico) on guitar. Jetstream Pony return with a new full length album 'Bowerbirds and Blue Things', for release in March 2025 on Spinout Nuggets in the UK, and Shelflife Records in North America. The band's evolution continues, and there are branches into new territory. 'The Relativity of Wrong' is driven by heavy bass, a tale of youthful misbehaviour, with guest vocals from Eleni Poulou, formerly of The Fall. 'Tendrils' has a darker presence, sung by Kerry, echoing and ghostly. 'Bonanza 2 Tango Sierra' and 'Look Alive!' both have a driving feel, and the power-pop is still intact with songs like "Bubblegum Nothingness". 'Bowerbirds And Blue Things' is a varied album that keeps the underlying Jetstream Pony sound, but with real development.
