Love It/Music Tidbits: Tired Pony

Okay, this is what I've been listening to for the past two weeks or so.

I'm a HUGE Snow Patrol (sadly only seen them once) and a while back I learned from a newsletter I'm signed up for that Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol lead singer) is almost finished with a music project he's been working on. I guess he's finished because well, the album is out on July 20, 2010. In the UK of course. If you're in the states like mua, you can still buy it imported from Amazon (click on the pic if you want to pre-order it) and probably other places.
As you can see from the above image, the album is called Place We Ran From by The Tired Pony. Who's the Tired Pony you ask?

Gary Lightbody  - from Snow Patrol.
Iaian Archer - worked with Lightbody on the awesome Reindeer Section
Peter Buck - from R.E. M (!!)
Richard Colburn - from Belle & Sebastian (!!!!!)
Garret Lee - song writer
Scott McCaughey - from The Young Fresh Fellows
Troy Stewart

and the album features

M. Ward - from She & Him
Tom Smith - from the band Editors
Zooey Deschanel <--Love her style and her movies! Not a huge fan of She & Him though.

Dead American Writers


You can find many more of the songs from the album here. It's the Tired Pony's official youtube page.

I can't wait!! I love what I'm hearing. I want to buy it already! The imported album is not too much, but I'm not sure yet. I've bought so much lately.

Ah, can't stop listening to the first song they released (well, kind of released) from it, Dead American Writers. Ah, every song is so lovely.

Oops almost forgot!
