Pony Girl

About

Pony Girl is a sonic alchemist, blending the ethereal with the experimental to craft a sound that defies easy categorization. Hailing from Ottawa, Canada, the band—led by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Pascale Mercier—melds post-punk, art-pop, and avant-garde influences into a hauntingly beautiful tapestry. Their music is a kaleidoscope of shimmering synths, intricate rhythms, and Mercier’s evocative vocals, which oscillate between vulnerability and power. Drawing inspiration from acts like Björk, Radiohead, and Kate Bush, Pony Girl creates a soundscape that feels both timeless and futuristic. Since their formation in 2013, Pony Girl has steadily carved out a niche in the indie music scene, earning critical acclaim for their debut album *Foreign Life* and its follow-up, *Enny One Wil Love You*. Their breakthrough came with the release of *Laff It Off* in 2022, a record that showcased their evolution into a more polished yet daring act. Known for their electrifying live performances, the band has toured extensively, captivating audiences with their theatricality and emotional depth. Pony Girl’s cultural impact lies in their ability to explore themes of identity, alienation, and resilience through a lens that is both personal and universal. Collaborations with artists like Michael Feuerstack and appearances at major festivals have further cemented their reputation as innovators. Currently, the band is working on new material, promising to push their artistic boundaries even further.
