As usual, Poni Hoax is all over the musical map on its second full-length, the Joakim-produced Images of Sigrid. Part disco, part new wave, very electronic, and with its fair share of guitar riffage, the album slides from one musical style to another with grand transitions that tend to include lots of cymbal crashes. Best place to start is with the anthemic "Antibodies," which, according to the album’s press kit, sounds a bit like Nick Cave and Giorgio Moroder. Wrap your heads around that while hitting the download button. Photo by Maria Ziegelbock.
