One Trick Pony (Randolph Williams III and Jenny Teixeira with Charlene Huang and Josh Solberg) belong to a growing collective of artists who understands the value of carefully chosen words, spare arrangement, and no Caps Lock - as if punctuation matters in all aspects of the sound and the words; music that is conscious of the white space around the sound and between the notes; the echos behind and beneath every sound in the song; the incidental noises that pass unnoticed - like …

Either drive around LA and take down the “Country First/McCain-Palin,” signs I am seeing or go to Tangier to listen to One Trick Pony. One would surely get me arrested. The other would surely help me in some other way. So I decided to roll to Tangier. Good call.
