Poi Dog Pondering - Pomegranate Seeds RADIO PROMO MAXI-SINGLE (1995) CD

Description: Pomegranate is an album by the American band Poi Dog Pondering, released in 1995. It was first released in a limited edition by the band's label, with a national release by Bar/None Records. The band supported the album with a North American tour. Pomegranate sold more than 40,000 copies in its first six months of release. Eclectic and expansive 11-piece ensemble Poi Dog Pondering proves adept at mastering diverse musical styles and controlling the commercial end of their own distribution and production. They're at their most sublime and inimitable in the pop ballads. To even the first-time listener, such Poi Dog warhorses as "Pomegranate," "Catacombs," and "Complicated" offer that instant familiarity of a successfully crafted song. Any pop music creator would be proud to have one of these as a "one-hit." But, such a Holy Grail as chart success eludes Poi Dog Pondering. This is high crime, as any track on Pomegranate will move you to tears or joy on close listen. The album was produced by Frank Orrall, Martin Stebbing, and the band. It was recorded in an empty basketball gym in Chicago over a period of seven months. The band, which raised around $10,000 for the sessions, aimed for a production that would sound good in a dance club. Frontman Orrall used a handheld microphone for many of the songs, recording "Diamonds and Buttermilk" while crawling around the floor. Orrall thought that Pomegranate was a more cohesive album than the band's previous releases. Steve Goulding played drums on Pomegranate. "God's Gallipoli" addresses the leukemic lymphoma of bandmember Brigid Murphy; Orrall, partly in response to criticism of the band's previous albums, tried to write songs about more serious matters.
