Pit Pony

Fiercely honest, Jackie’s lyricism portrays an intense duality and a vulnerability that is instantly relatable. Turning inwards to explore
notions of motherhood, imposter syndrome and getting older, while simultaneously outwards through commentary on the cost of
living, polluted water, the constant sell on social media and the ‘off menu’ Starbucks coffee obsession.

With the band citing the recent influences of Blue Weekend and Skinty Fia alongside the likes of Can and the soundtracks of Ennio
Moriconne, mastering engineer Christian Wright (Wolf Alice, Fontaines D.C., Pigs x7) proves the perfect fit with Chris McManus (Blank
Studios) heading up recording & production. Sonically, Pit Pony remain loyal to their roots, noting the influence of regional titans
Nadine Shah and The Futureheads and with the “ENGLISH ACCENT god damn it” reminder on PJ Harvey’s Uh Huh Her in mind, Jackie
Purver stays true to her accent.

Dead Stars sees Pit Pony deliver an expanded but yet more balanced and personal conception of their craft. Garth Purver explains that
the band were aiming for a more rounded and complete record “that showcased multiple sides to us but hung together as one piece of
work rather than a collection of separate tracks.” While Andrew Jones mentions how the band “encouraged each other to pull on those
strands and incorporate more of our personal taste in the sound”.
