This year Samuel Flynn Scott presents his second solo album Straight Answer Machine (following his solo debut ‘The Hunt Brings Us Life’ from 2006).

Leading his own band ‘Bunnies On Ponies’ through Lee Prebble’s infamous The Surgery recording studio in Wellington, New Zealand, resulted in a more oblique and grown up sound that deviates from the quirky Americana of his debut, instead communicating a dystopian landscape of melodic pop.

The band consists of Samuel Flynn Scott (songwriter, vocals, guitars, keys), Craig Terris (drums, vocals), Tom Callwood (bass, vocals), and Matt Armitage (guitar, keys, vocals).

Never had the heart to pray
And never thought I'd find the way
But now I do, now I do

Always felt I was no good
Always felt misunderstood
But now I don't, now I don't

'Cause your great love is healing me
Renewing me through and through

Like a river runnin' wild
Every brother, mother, child
