It came from Baltimore

This is a Ponytail post.
First off i have to say how excited i was to hear Ponytail is coming to to Los Angeles (to the Echo) on May 15th (duh, I'll be there). I wasn't to sure the review of their new video over at Stereogum was a positive one. I personally think that Ponytail is for everyone. They're complex but not complicated. kind of math-y and spontaneous at the same time. I think i have a crush on Molly Siegel. She's very unfairly compared to Yoko Ono because of her vocal style, but where Yoko 'sang' the way she did out of a sort of proto-hipster pretension, there's no sign of insincerity coming from Molly or any of the Ponytail members. There's a reason they're always smiling: they're happy little fuckers. It comes across in their music. I'm very excited about the show.
If however you feel like you'd like your Ponytail a little mellower they stopped at Daytrotter last November and you'd hardly recognize them. I mean, you can see that it's the same minds making the music, but it sounds so different coming from acoustic guitars. Anyway, here's their new video for Celebrate the Body Electric (it came from an angel) off of last year's brilliant Ice Cream Spiritual.




Ice Cream Spiritual is out now (buy it!) on We Are Free.
