Pronto
All Is Golden
Street: 3.10
Contraphonic

Pronto = Badly Drawn Boy + Wilco + Amos Lee + Biirdie + French Toast + Sleepercar
Wilco’s Mikael Jorgensen, alongside members of Iron & Wine, Cat Power, Antibalas & Califone, form the indie-rock/pop group Pronto. Don’t write off Pronto as just another side project, though; their sound reaches out and grabs those ol’ eardrums to make them smile and itch for more. All Is Golden compromises 13 tracks of pop-sensibility indie-rock laden with soft-spoken-though-emotionally charged vocals, as well as soothing piano and guitar work. Tracks such as “Good Friends Have Gone,” “Had And Have,” “When I’m On The Rocks” and “Say It all Night” bring together Pronto’s mellow tendencies, while “I Think So,” “Monster” and “Unexpected Vex” are clearly a bit edgier and get the heart rate up a bit … but not too much. For a debut album from a band who is considered a part-time side project, Pronto exceeds all expectations – and would even without any name-dropping. – Jeremy C. Wilkins
