Gary Lightbody is in Porltand, Oregon this week recording a “countryish, country-tinged” record with Belle and Sebastian drummer Richard Colburn, producer Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol, Weezer, R.E.M.) and two secret “very special guests.”

However, Gary Lightbody later revealed that the superstar guest on his country-tinged Tired Pony side-project is R.E.M.’s Peter Buck. The other special guest is still unknown.

So, don’t forget to grab some Voodoo Donuts while your here Gary in Portland, Oregon and in studio with Iain Archer and his wife Miriam, from Belle and Sebastian and Richard Coburn and Jacknife Lee who’s taking care of production duties.

“Peter is one of my all-time heroes,” Garry tells Q magazine. “I admire his versatility, he can play any stringed instrument and more besides. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with! He’s a real innovator, which is great because this is a whole new project.”
