Motopony - Motopony

Motopony - Guitarist, frontman and creative force Daniel Blue leads this Tacoma, WA quartet through a maze of beat-driven acoustic pop and bluesy, organic folk/rock... self-titled '09 debut gets a major national push this spring with the addition of one newer song // Release: Motopony (May 24) // Sounds like: Compelling singer/ songwriter fare melded to rhythmic, trip-hop energy, thanks in big part to Seattle producer/collaborator Buddy Ross // What we like: the irresistible appeal of lead single "King of Diamonds", the perfect percussive backbeat -- sweetly jazzy -- bubbling beneath Blue's sandy vocals...the nimble 60's blues/rock vibe of "Seer"...the newest track "Wait For Me" -- a less busy, more gauzy acoustic ramble that is as addictive as it is simply adorned and a breakout track on the trendy KCRW airwaves...
