Pontiak is made up of three brothers from the Blue Ridge farm country of Virginia, Van (guitar, lead vocals), Lain (drums, vocals) and Jennings Carney (bass, organ, vocals). Their music is swaggering guitar rock that straddles the line between a power trio and something far more expansive in sound and scope.
Their broad song structures allow ample room for three-part vocals, drums, organ and stellar slide and lead guitar to stretch and captivate. Songs roll along with an effortless synchronicity despite their extremely varied textures." Sun On Sun is the band's second full-length, for which they've played a bit of a Bon Iver, holing themselves up for recording in a log cabin out in the wilds of Virginia.
Instead of incubating a pared down evocation of intimacy however, Pontiak reach for ambitious, experimental rock textures, culminating in the Crazy Horse-do-shoegaze marathon of the title track, the barbed organ blues of 'Tell Me About' and even a spot of eerie dark ambience on 'Swell'. Excellent.
