Album Review: Tired Pony - The Ghost Of The Mountain

19 August 2013 | 9:48 pm | Pete Laurie

Light, sincere and reflective, The Ghost Of The Mountain is a great example of a supergroup creating something new, individual and worthwhile.

With members including Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol), Richard Colburn (Belle & Sebastian) and Peter Buck (REM), Tired Pony could collapse into a terrible mess of conflicting sensibilities and egos. But The Ghost Of The Mountain manages to highlight the respective talents of its members, while becoming something in its own right. In fact, Lightbody's voice is the only giveaway to any of the members' more well known bands. Light, sincere and reflective, The Ghost Of The Mountain is a great example of a supergroup creating something new, individual and worthwhile.
