I Want A Pony

The Handsome Family - Pony
I guess it's only fitting that a band from new mexico is weird. not like nels cline weird. surreal weird. this track is from their '95 record Odessa. The bands most recent album Singing Bones (2003), which i admittedly know nothing about, apparantly hit the top 20 in the UK indie charts. at least that's so boasts their band bio. speaking of nels cline, the band certainly taps a similar vein to some of the Geraldine Fibbers material - dark, surreal country inspired art rock.
of course, singing about one's desire to own and keep a pony is hardly "dark"...
