'Slowing Down In Real Time' is a wonderful introduction in the style of a Broadway musical with polyphonic melodic vocal lines, hymn verses and a gospel music atmosphere. 'Waterline' has introductory ambient verses from the 70s stage echoing the new wave of the 80s. Gentle vocals are accompanied by beautiful melody. 

'You Got Me' is a nice ballad that has soft guitars in accompaniment that reveal the main emotional vocals in all their beauty. 'Holding Me Back' - rhythm and blues in unsurpassed ensemble arrangement with sensual backing vocals and lovely guitars around. 

Ponderosa Grove really have the professional groove and cascade of melodies that justify their album name - it's a great debut. Be sure to listen to the full album 'The Debut' below on Spotify and remember Ponderosa Grove as a sign of quality in the latest American music.
