NB: The following is taken and adapted from PonyvilleFM’s announcement on the album release.
Ponies at Dawn are proud to announce the release of their 9th album, Voyager, jam packed with an incredible line up of music from a whole host of fandom artists. Their biggest album yet, with 58 tracks, there’s sure to be something for everybody here. Music from big names such as Replacer, UndreamedPanic, 4Everfreebrony and Aurelleah, Ponies at Dawn regulars like EnsionD, ThatMusicBrony and Francis Vace, as well as plenty of other newcomers and veterans alike helps to make this one of the most diverse and awesome experiences the brony music community is capable of putting together. As always, there’s a whole host of genres available to listen to, with EDM, orchestral, metal, rock, and much more!
To celebrate the release of the album, PonyvilleFM will be hosting a Live Release Party starting at 17:00 UTC / 13:00 EDT this Friday the 7th of October leading up to the album’s live play. Then, at 20:00 UTC / 16:00 EDT, the Ponies at Dawn album – Voyager – will be played LIVE and in FULL, hosted by PonyvilleFM’s very own variety radio show, Lycan Dese Beats.
Immediately following the album’s release, Voyager will be available from the Ponies at Dawn bandcamp for whatever price you’d like to pay (including $0). However, if you are so excited and just can’t wait, it is available as a pre-order right now starting from just $1. As with last time, all the money made by the album from donations on BandCamp will go towards the artists as thanks for the hard work put in to get on.

Horse Music Central, a Discord chat set up by a few brony musicians (click to join!), is making a compilation album! Y’know, similar to what Ponies At Dawn and Lycan Dese Beats do. “But what kind of music / When do we submit by / [insert question here]?” I hear you ask, well…

When we started the Horse Music Herald, we took an approach that aimed to be an alternative of sorts to Equestria Daily in terms of how we represented music. Well now we’re actually influencing a change in how things will be run over there. After much discussion with Sethisto, we’re proud to be part of the overhaul of EQD’s music posting, with our very own ExplodingPonyToast as a main music writer!
There is more that will change over time, but here’s what you should know for now: we are not changing the way we run things on the Horse Music Herald at all, but we will be involved in all future music selection and posting on Equestria Daily. Here’s to the future of brony music!
