Press Reviews Rockin Pony - Hello (Lux Nigra): Rockin Pony are truly an international operation. The duo are stationed individually in London (via Russia) and Israel, yet still manage to combine their skills together to make one of the best examples of abstract electronica ever created. 'Hello' is their debut full-length release, but judging by the immense depth and quality of the music here, you'd suspect they would've had much more experience than they really have. Their music flows with such elegance, not one beat, sound or tone is out of place. Songs evolve and grow organically, ebbing and flowing with such an adept technique, like 'Tookies', which begins with an almost Boards Of Canada-like ambience, albeit with busier rhythmic touches. Slowly the patterns grow, the harmonies start gaining ground and take on an abstract structure and before long a song that started by tugging the heartstrings is by the end getting your body moving with it's chunky 80s bass-stabs and aggressive rhythm. This is one of many examples of Rockin Pony's mastering of structure and harmony. From the Plone-like busy playfulness of 'Lullaby' to the far-east tinged electro-opulence of the album's title track, 'Hello' is a true undisputed benchmark, an unrecognised classic that has every possible element you could ever desire.
