(We Are Free) CD
From the world of the frenetic Baltimore scene (Dan Deacon, Video Hippos, Ecstatic Sunshine) comes another crew, this time with two guitars, no bass & lots of fucking energy. On their second album Ice Cream Spiritual, Ponytail create an erratic train running with high-freted guitar work, rolling drums & the artistic flamboyance of lead vocalist Molly Seigel, who sounds like something between a hyperactive parrot & a wild boar in heat. The record’s turbo fluster of crayon-coloured-craze certainly will leave those involved with a heart beat per minute that would worry a physician. The sound of punk-infused paint colour aimed at the art gallery: yes, please.
