DESCRIPTION:

NPR and others tapped Bradshaw as one to watch a couple of years ago. He has since taken his time, determined to accurately capture the art he'd only recently realized he was incubating. Sudden Opera is the rewarding result. Bradshaw is the sole songwriter on the album.
The record is stacked with songs that pick up religious imagery and run wild. "Shame" saunters through smoldering faux-finger pointing, while "Ain't No Eden" accepts life in its often-tortured present, dismissing the idea of paradisal relief. With hands-in-the-air panache, organ, and bouncing backbeat, "Didn't it Rain" gives in to the unknown.
Spinning a rich family history, "Sippi Sand" is the most autobiographical song on the album. A gospel choir helps build the track's depth as Pony's own vocals soar.
Featuring electric guitar that buzzes with Heartbreakers' flair, "Charlatan" takes down the spiritual snake-oil salesmen. "Bad Teeth," shuffles broodingly and dreamy "Loretta" explores desire, fallout, and escaping into and with another person. Poignant strings help propel the turbulent "Gaslight Heart," while "Josephine" brings Sudden Opera to a haunting close.
