According to Sam Bielanski, frontwoman of Toronto indie-pop duo PONY, the idea for Clearly Cursed came from her first visit to a psychic. During this encounter, the psychic read Bielanski’s tarot cards and stated that Bielanski’s boyfriend was cheating on her — which turned out to be true — and that, more crucially, Bielanski had a dark spirit attached to her soul.
For the low, low price of $1,500, the psychic promised to exorcise this demon. Bielanski, 21 years old at the time, couldn’t pony up the cash, and she left her psychic visit realizing she’d have to coexist with this curse for the rest of her life.
But if Bielanski is indeed marked by a maleficent spirit, you can’t tell on Clearly Cursed — not with how bubbly and spunky its tracks are.
