Don’t play cards with Chris’ kids. They all cheat or give up. Or well. Fall asleep in James’ case. Also never fall asleep around Jen. She WILL draw on you. For the second eldest, she’s the most childish.
Track review of Rumours, the Web-exclusive single by Exclamation Pony, the side-project of The Cribs' Ryan Jarman and Here We Go Magic's Jen Turner.
As I mentioned in my review of Pseudo Individual/Mazes, the Ryan Jarman and Jen Turner-fronted Exclamation Pony basically came out of nowhere in 2013, with a string of small venue gigs and Rumours, a streaming-only promotional single. The song was immediately picked up by the British press – with NME championing it as part of its "Song of the Week" feature –, and excitement for an eventual full album began to soar ("eventual" being the key word in this sentence, as time has told us).
There isn't that much more information about the well-groomed son of the marriage between The Cribs and Here We Go Magic, so let's stop knocking about and get right down to business.
Track-by-track review of Pseudo Individual/Mazes, the first official release, double A-side single by Exclamation Pony, the side-project of The Cribs' Ryan Jarman and Here We Go Magic's Jen Turner.
"I like you. You like me, right? We're Exclamation Pony, and we're your new favourite band." And so the brainchild of a deep friendship/love affair between Wakefield's enfant terrible, Ryan Jarman (from The Cribs), and American guitar prodigy, Jen Turner (formerly of Here We Go Magic), drifted in and out of the public eye in 2013. The oddly named Exclamation Pony took the stage by storm in what the NME described as "an orgy of shambolic free-spiritedness", they recorded bits and pieces, released a couple of them – the Web-only promotional song Rumours and the subject of this here article, the double A-side Pseudo Individual/Mazes –, then virtually disappeared. Only to be spotted in sporadic social media posts.

That said, I was very happy with the working relationship we had with Jules, we did various mixes and changed stuff around a bit but to me that just showed that he cared about the song as much as i did
