Though Tim Pourbaix’s solo debut includes contributions from his Killfix bandmates Andrew Solanyk and Peter Glenn, the personality present on A Pony Craig, Not Greg is all his.
Perhaps the most surprising track is “Clinic,” an upbeat, harmonica-heavy number that stands out in stark contrast to the record’s generally melancholic mood and highlights Pourbaix’s diverse composing skills. The tune’s radio-friendly melody offsets lyrics about the hazards of a passion-filled night of unprotected sex. Pony establishes Tim Pourbaix among the ranks of Denver singer-songwriters to watch.
