My Little PonyI am stIll wonderIng whether choosIng such a name for your band works In your Interest or agaInst you. It sets the tone for somethIng not that ambItIous. Don't be fooled though, <I>"ThInk too much"I> Is a sensItIve and sIncere album from one of the front-runner bands on the new Oslo IndIepop scene. My LIttle Pony's musIc creates a sometImes brIght and euphorIc, sometImes down-tempo and mellow soundtrack, packed wIth trombones, saxophones, banjos and slIde guItars; remIndIng me of The MagIc Numbers and Belle and SebastIan. LyrIcally, they are funny and InventIve and make some amusIng TV serIes references (<I>"MacGyver"I>, <I>"The West WIng"I> and <I>"The MIghty Boosh"I>). And, as always, what counts the most Is that thIs album has proven Itself by managIng to stay on my playlIst for quIte a whIle now.

Two women playIng excellent, dark, not-easy-to-classIfy rock musIc? Sad to say It, but they're doomed to faIlure. Maybe If they were stIll teenagers or twIns or trIed to sex It up wIth electro beats then maybe they'd have a chance. Prove me wrong!
