Pit Pony, band from Newcastle, Inggris, has just released their latest single titled “Well Well” through Clue Records and EMI North. The song is inspired by a significant moment in Katie Atkinson’s novel ‘A God In Ruins’, which adds a deep emotional touch to the lyrics and theme of the song.
With a main theme that touches on death, Pit Pony successfully delivers a message that is not only about fear, but also about how one can face death with calmness and acceptance.
This single presents a unique combination of reflective lyrics with energetic melodies. The lyrics depict deep feelings of despair, yet still imply hope and acceptance of the inevitable reality.
In terms of music, Pit Pony manages to maintain their intensity, creating a powerful song both in terms of emotion and musicality.
This latest work showcases the band’s ability to convey heavy and meaningful messages without losing the spirit of their music. The song presents an interesting balance between emotional contemplation and the characteristic rock music dynamics of Pit Pony.
In addition to releasing the single, Pit Pony also introduces a music video for “Well Well” on their Youtube channel. Unlike the serious impression of the song, this music video takes a more relaxed and light-hearted approach.
With a background in everyday life as a parent, the video depicts a theme that is very close to the heart of vocalist Jackie Purver. As a mother and musician, Jackie often faces challenges in balancing her roles as a parent and her music career, a dilemma that is portrayed beautifully in the video.
In the production of this video, several creative talents are involved, including Jodie Wild as the cast, Sel MacLean as the director, and Chris McManus as the audio producer. The cinematography is done by Adam Opie with the assistance of other crew members such as Laura Moscrop as the camera assistant and Roberto Colapietro as the gaffer.
