PONDEROSA
WATCH THE
DEBUT LIVE PERFORMANCE OF
“NAVAJO”
TODAY ON PASTE
Watch the debut live performance of “Navajo,” the first single off POOL PARTY, the new album from the Atlanta indie rock group PONDEROSA out this week on New West Records. The clip can be viewed on Paste here: http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/av/2012/08/video-premiere-ponderosa—navajo-live.html.
Currently the “iTunes Single Of The Week” http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/navajo-single/id546408688?ign-mpt=uo%3D4, the enigmatic track is garnering critical attention. USA Today praised the song, noting: “A dark groove haunts the soaring chorus and chiming guitars…” (6/19/12). In their 4-out-of-5 star CD review, the Orlando Weekly declared it “…an Epic beauty” (8/2/12). Meanwhile, Paste has said, “’Navajo,’ the debut single, is more than the album’s first breakout song. It’s indie rock at its finest. Instantly interesting and catchy to boot, ‘Navajo’ is a track you’ll want to spend some time with” (5/22/12). And Consequence of Sound noted that “‘Navajo,’ the lead single, has just the right combination of reverb and bombast, especially when the song hits its stride in the chorus” (8/2/12).
PONDEROSA perform “Navajo” live on Paste. See full lyrics below.

Following are the full lyrics for “Navajo” from PONDEROSA:
“Navajo”
Torn seams, Young pride
Raised on horse hide
Wolves teeth hawkeye
Eight feet ten high
In the meadow, in the dark
we drink the blood from their hearts
we drink the blood from their hearts
Hard feet cold knives
Led by moonlight
four sons four wives
In the meadow in the dark
we drink the blood from their hearts
we drink the blood from their hearts
Everything’s better in the dark
we drain the sun from the stars
we drain the sun from the stars
