Artist Biography by Jason Ankeny

The atmospheric electronic pop trio Snowpony was an alternative British supergroup of sorts, comprising vocalist/keyboardist Katharine Gifford -- a former member of Stereolab and Moonshake -- as well as one-time My Bloody Valentine bassist Debbie Googe and ex-Quickspace/Rollerskate Skinny drummer Max Corradi. A number of singles announcing the group's arrival appeared in 1997, among them "Evil Way Down" and "Chocolate in the Sun." The full-length Slow-Motion World of Snowpony followed a year later.

Review by Heather Phares

The U.S. release of Quickspace is something of an improvement over the U.K. version, as it adds two of the band's finest singles, "Rise" and "Friend," and removes "Mousetail." Bookending the original album with the two relatively fast-paced singles detracts somewhat from the stately flow of the rest of the material, but it does give a better overview of Quickspace's diverse sound. Integrating the new songs into the rest of the album might have worked better, as "Swisher" and "Docile Two" are strong opening and final tracks for Quickspace, but overall the album is a fine introduction for U.S. listeners to a unique band.
