Jason Lives

In search of a soundtrack for cold, dark winter evenings, (lonely can
also be thrown into the mix)?

Then Jason
Colletts new record Pony Tricks should be playing on
repeat. The album includes acoustic recordings of nine previously
released songs and two unreleased tunes. But far from a best-of album,
here, many of the well-known sing-alongs like Hangover Days are so
reworked that they are almost unrecognizable from their original
versions. Others, like Bitter Beauty, still have their familiar beat
even as they are stripped-down to a slow-motion flow. Not an album youd
play pre-party but the perfect compilation of old favourites to listen
to when youre winding down.

Just maybe keep away from the disheartened teens in your life.
