Summary: Tired Pony was originally assembled as a side-project by Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody as a way to realize a long-standing goal to make an Americana album. But soon, the side-project became something more: A supergroup comprised of R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, Iain Archer (Snow Patrol), Richard Colburn (Belle And Sebastian), Scott McCaughey (The Minus 5), Troy Stewart and producer and multi-instrumentalist "Jacknife" Lee. Following Tired Pony's critically acclaimed 2010 debut, The Place We Ran From, the group is back with its follow-up, The Ghost Of The Mountain. Recorded at Lee's Topanga Canyon studio over nine days in February and March, the album (out Oct. 1) expands beyond the band's original country-tinged songs with a wide variety of textures and a lush, uplifting, and almost cinematic rock sound. Hear the group perform songs from the new record in the Soundcheck studio. For more photos, visit Soundcheck's Tumblr page. Set List: "All Things At Once" "Creak In The Floorboards"
