oday’s Friday, the official start of the weekend and if you’re looking for party music, cue Pony Pony Run Run. PPRR is a four-piece, falseto-loving band who calls France home. “Hey You,” the second track posted to its MySpace from the upcoming June-released LP, bounces along with the delivery of the Virgins. But where they fall short on genuine lyrical sentiment, PPRR indulges its sensitive side with lyrics like “Wish I was young enough / wish you were made just for me.” Questionable pedophilia aside, they’re sung by the band’s vocalist, known simply as G, with the breathy, precise and intimate vocals of Junior Boys’ mouthpiece, Jeremy Greenspan, and funk of Hail Social. If “Hey You” doesn’t fit your party’s playlist, then, well, that’s one party I wouldn’t R.S.V.P.
