Û°Û It may not seem like a big deal, but the fact Û°Û
Û°Û that Pony Up no longer have an exclamation mark Û°Û
Û°Û at the end of their name tells you everything you Û°Û
Û°Û need to know about their new sound. Make Love to Û°Û
Û°Û the Judges With Your Eyes finds the foursome Û°Û
Û°Û leaner (Camilla Wynne Ingr left to join Sunset Û°Û
Û°Û Rubdown) and, if not meaner, than certainly more Û°Û
Û°Û world-weary. No longer are they singing about Û°Û
Û°Û giving Matthew Modine blowjobs, as they did on Û°Û
Û°Û their debut EP last year. Instead they're Û°Û
Û°Û singing songs that start with lines like "When Û°Û
Û°Û you draw me / You draw me crying" (on "Only Û°Û
Û°Û Feelgood") and "This is another lonely morning" Û°Û
Û°Û (on "Possible Harm"). Evidently, the band has Û°Û
Û°Û suffered the loss of more than just a punctuation Û°Û
Û°Û mark. Û°Û
Û°Û Û°Û
Û°Û This, however, represents a gain for listeners Û°Û
Û°Û everywhere. While upbeat pop music can certainly Û°Û
Û°Û be fun, it's not something with which everyone Û°Û
Û°Û can relate, nor (unless it's exceptionally Û°Û
Û°Û well-done) is it likely to stand the test of Û°Û
Û°Û time. By contrast, Make Love To The Judges With Û°Û
Û°Û Your Eyes is the kind of album that seems like it Û°Û
Û°Û could stick with you -- it's built around Û°Û
Û°Û feelings of sadness and loneliness, and it's hard Û°Û
Û°Û to imagine that there's anyone out there who Û°Û
Û°Û hasn't felt those things at some point. Û°Û
Û°Û Û°Û
Û°Û "The Truth About Cats and Dogs (Is That They Û°Û
Û°Û Die)" illustrates this perfectly, as Û°Û
Û°Û co-frontwoman Sarah Moundroukas deadpans "Give me Û°Û
Û°Û a reason, send me a postcard / Tell me a story, Û°Û
Û°Û why are you so far?" over a deceptively simple Û°Û
Û°Û melody. While nitpickers and naysayers may Û°Û
Û°Û dismiss the whole thing as being too simplistic, Û°Û
Û°Û the fact is that when you're heartbroken -- and Û°Û
Û°Û make no mistake, Make Love To The Judges With Û°Û
Û°Û Your Eyes is a heartbroken break-up album -- it's Û°Û
Û°Û the most simple lines that capture everything Û°Û
Û°Û you're feeling. While Pony Up may not translate Û°Û
Û°Û those feelings into something that's deeply Û°Û
Û°Û profound or completely mind-blowing, they do Û°Û
Û°Û capture them and recreate them faithfully, and Û°Û
Û°Û that -- capturing reality just as it is -- is Û°Û
Û°Û arguably the most difficult thing for any artist. Û°Û
Û°Û Û°Û
Û°Û And yet, in spite of the heartbreak that pervades Û°Û
Û°Û the album, there are moments of hope that make it Û°Û
Û°Û all bearable. "Possible Harm", for example, may Û°Û
Û°Û start off on "another lonely morning", but it Û°Û
Û°Û also suggests that, just maybe, the song's Û°Û
Û°Û heroine is feeling something for the first time. Û°Û
Û°Û Similarly, even after songs like "What's Free Is Û°Û
Û°Û Yours" ("I make up promises you never made to Û°Û
Û°Û waste space and time") and "Only Feelgood" ("I've Û°Û
Û°Û got a story that won't leave my head, about a boy Û°Û
Û°Û who plays house and a girl who plays dead") and Û°Û
Û°Û "Ships" (I tell myself I'm doing fine, but Û°Û
Û°Û there's no one here to ease my mind"), there are Û°Û
Û°Û still tracks like "The First Waltz" and "Make, Û°Û
Û°Û Model, Number", that suggest that the narrator Û°Û
Û°Û has learned from past heartbreaks and will Û°Û
Û°Û survive, albeit within the confines of a Û°Û
Û°Û protective emotional shell. Û°Û
Û°Û Û°Û
Û°Û It's unfortunate that the same people who Û°Û
Û°Û dismissed Pony Up's first outing as being too Û°Û
Û°Û emotionally immature will still use the same kind Û°Û
Û°Û of language to dismiss the band's growth here (as Û°Û
Û°Û if being heartfelt and open is somehow not as Û°Û
Û°Û mature as being able to hide emotion behind Û°Û
Û°Û layers of irony and insincerity). As Make Love Û°Û
Û°Û To The Judges With Your Eyes shows, the latter Û°Û
Û°Û approach may garner more critical kudos, but it's Û°Û
Û°Û the former -- the way Pony Up are doing it -- Û°Û
Û°Û that really takes bravery and courage. Û°Û
Û°Û Admittedly, in the wrong hands it's also the way Û°Û
Û°Û that can sound self-absorbed, but when it's done Û°Û
Û°Û right -- and Pony Up definitely do it correctly Û°Û
Û°Û -- it can lead to one of the most emotionally Û°Û
Û°Û engaging albums of the year. Û°Û
