The first full length record from Rex Orange County is here. Pony follows a path of storytelling through lyrics in a clear and introspective way. Each track offers a view into Alex O’Connor’s mind. The instrumentation seems to take a seat on the backburner for this record, but it works. It’s a great fall album and an easy listen. Watch the music video for the opening track “10/10” below and listen to “Every Way” on our New Impressions playlist.
