Full bio and contact info below.
2011 sees the release of the long awaited second album “Making Marks”. The video for the single “Hard To Be Good ” has already been put in MTV rotation and entered the German myspace charts. The band’s appealing mix of twee pop and more classic pop, soul and americana music is making them reach a steady growing audience, without ever loosing their intense underground fervor. The combination of pure sincerity and analytical intelligence in both melodies and lyrics make mylittlepony a front runner in the increasingly more exciting pop capital of Oslo, Norway.

In the autumn of 2010, My Little Pony decided to change their name to mylittlepony, to “screw up our googleability even more”, to put it in their own words.
mylittlepony are confirmed for by:Larm and SXSW, and will do a club venue tour Europe in april 2011.
The first track from Einar Stray’s long awaited debut album “Chiaroscuro” is now available for free download!
Einar Stray is a 20 year old norwegian experimental singer/songwriter who draws upon influences such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Radiohead and Sufjan Stevens.
After being hyped by media as a very promising 18 year old and playing by:Larm, Slottsfjellfestivalen and numerous other festivals in 2008, Stray pulled back from the spotlight to focus on developing as a song writer and composer. In addition to writing his own material, Einar also spent the last year as the piano player for Norwegian break through act Moddi, both on record and live. Moddi returns the favor with a contribution to the record, both as a musician and with cover design.
Spoon Train Audio are thrilled to finally be able to reveal Einar’s music for the world. The title track “Chiaroscuro” is an eight minute long monster of a pop song, with horns, strings, guitar noise and Einar’s signature piano playing on top.
Chiaroscuro is produced by Spoon Train house producer Sjur Lyseid in Six Feet Over Recording Studio, and marks his definite breakthrough as the front runner of a new generation of norwegian record producers. We hope you will enjoy this track as much as we do.
