| | Van, Lain, and Jennings Carney share a mom, a dad, and a Virginia | |
| | farm house studio. They record themselves, book themselves, hold | |
| | complex day jobs, and know their way around a working farm as | |
| | well as an instrument. They like it loud and for Living, their | |
| | fifth release in two years, they like it dirty. | |
| | | |
| | Pontiak's fifth album (including Sea Voids the LP only tour | |
| | record made for their tour with White Hills) was recorded on an | |
| | old reel to reel in the band's home studio using two track tape. | |
| | Unlike Sea Voids which was recorded in eight brief evening | |
| | sessions and Maker which was recorded in mostly single takes, | |
| | this album underwent a lengthy recording process over the course | |
| | of four months. Just enough time for Isaiah Mitchell of Earthless | |
| | to drop by and lay down some guitar. Living is connected to their | |
| | previous recordings by the brothers' affection for a thick as | |
| | molasses guitar sound and a heavy bass that holds sway over the | |
| | album, creating some delicious sludge. | |
| | | |
| | In the era of single song downloads, Pontiak have created a | |
| | record meant to be heard in sequence in its entirety. Start by | |
| | spreading some "Young" on your toast. Slip into the deliberately | |
| | paced "Algiers By Day" as it builds and teases and leaves you | |
| | suspended in anticipation, only to be dropped into the | |
| | unforgiving explosion of "And By Night". The howling intro of | |
| | "This is Living" is a great example of an essential element of | |
| | Pontiak; textural contrasts. The softly sung and often melodic | |
| | vocals and the pummeling instruments behind them. While the | |
| | vocals on "Forms of The" and the instruments strike the same | |
| | melodic tone, the contrast between it and the track that follows | |
| | provides a certain degree of palpable tension. A non-too-subtle | |
| | tension as "Thousand Citrus" starts with an extended buzz. | |
| | Wood-shedders at heart, Pontiak are as relentless in their | |
| | musical explorations as they are with their guitar attacks. They | |
| | are happy about all those that have chosen to follow their | |
| | travels, but would travel regardless. Their live show is | |
| | earsplitting and yet the brothers are low key and soft spoken off | |
| | stage. Unpredictable, unforgiving, and utterly individual. Simply | |
| | put, our favorite kind of rock. | |
