Fazed On A Pony Share Video for ‘Flashes’ from Touring New Album Nationwide
The latest musical endeavor from Tāmaki Makaurau songwriter Peter McCall, along with a team of talented contributors, Fazed On A Pony’s second album, “Swan,” has quickly become a standout release of 2026. This album beautifully combines emotive alt-country with indie-rock vibes, creating a unique and compelling musical experience. The band is currently making their way across Aotearoa on a tour to celebrate the album’s release, with their next show scheduled at MOON in Te Whanganui-a-Tara this weekend. As part of their promotional efforts, FOAP has unveiled a new music video for “Flashes,” the energetic second track from “Swan.”
Directed and crafted by Martin Sagadin, who is also gearing up to conclude his album release tour in the capital soon, the “Flashes” video is a mesmerizing collection of rapidly changing scenes featuring Buddy the dog. Shot on Super8 film in West Auckland, the video showcases a nostalgic and heartwarming journey. Reports indicate that the Auckland performance of Fazed On A Pony was a rousing success. Fans can delve deeper into the album by reading McCall’s thoughts on each track on “Swan” and can also grab a copy of the vinyl LP from select record stores, courtesy of Melted Ice Cream and Meritorio Records.
The personal inspiration behind “Flashes” is a mix of emotions and experiences, with McCall expressing that it is “a bit of a love song to Rosa. A bit of an acknowledgment of some flawed behavior. Remembering that you’re in love and that it’s not a given. That there are moments of organic ecstasy if you stay the course. Chimey riff inspired by László Reynolds.” This insight into the creative process adds another layer of depth to the song and provides fans with a unique perspective.
