By 1996 jangle pop as a musical force was largely spent. A few bands carried on, and few still rose anew to take jangle pop into the mid-nineties. One of those bands was the Pontoons. " Landslide " was the only release by the band and is a gem of a song. It has lyrics which are melancholy matched with a soaring jangle pop hook, a combination which was difficult to achieve and irresistable when it worked.
Sadly, the Pontoons disappeared after this. They seemed destined to obscurity from the start for the sleeve of the single, issued on 7 vinyl, contained no label and no information about the band save a single song-writing credit. Perhaps they wanted it that way - who knows?
