Motopony

Based out of Seattle and led by singer/songwriter and former fashion designer Daniel Blue, the quartet Motopony makes a characteristically Pacific Northwest-flavored style of music the group likes to refer to as "glitch-folk;" a meandering sub-genre of the freak folk scene. Receiving a good amount of attention in the summer of 2011 for both its recorded output and its fairly ardent touring schedule, Motopony helped set the stage for what can only be expected to be a rise to notoriety. Managing to incorporate an adequate amount of modern studio production into its well-rounded sound, Motopony has created a unique sonic aesthetic that sounds like it's a byproduct of the 21st Century American folk community.
