Song of the Day: January 21, 2005


45, 1996

Purveying One Last Kiss-styled indiepop at this late date was probably not the best way to get noticed, but surely the Pontoons don't deserve this much obscurity. Perhaps my copy is missing an insert, but on the sleeve there's no label name, no address, and no band personnel listed save for the phrase "Songs By Tom Hunt." "Landslide" is a real heart-tugger; it soars like the best of early Small Factory but with more polish and confidence. Anybody know the story on this unit?

This is an excellent tune, but, alas, I can add absolutely nothing as far as biographical notes.

This song is brilliant and I have listened to it over 6 times today.

Tom Hunt's got a new band called Glow Stars. They're on myspace.
