Pony Show’s narrative touches on perseverance amid the captivity of love, loss, and limbo. Born in Manitoba, Canada, Gluck’s songwriting carries forward the tradition of her heroes and fellow Canadian exports, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young. She weaves resilient and vulnerable lyrics over sophisticated, majestic arrangements. At the album’s catchiest, it calls directly back to the traditions of 70s piano-driven pop. At its most minimal, it leaves little to the imagination with nothing to distract from the monogamy-challenging detachment of the lyrics.

A veteran player and session musician, offering bass, guitar, piano, keys, background vocals, accordion, and lap steel on over 30 albums, Gluck has collaborated with Juliana Hatfield’s Some Girls, Margot & the Nuclear So and Sos, Lily & Madeline, Simrit, and many more. Heidi released her first solo EP, “The Only Girl In The Room” in 2015, featuring her understated vocal style, clever arrangements, and confessional lyrics.

Check out the first single “Mercury Rising” and keep an eye out for Pony Show available on August 26 in physical and digital formats.
