Ponytail are four bratty kids who know how to turn stun guitars and female howls into one sexy, sweaty mess of rock noise. Singer Molly Siegel obviously thinks words are for boring grownups—she just likes to whoomp, meow, moan and hiccup over the thrash. Guitarists Dustin Wong and Ken Seeno play oddly complex crescendos that suggest they have a few King Crimson and Mahavishnu Orchestra albums hidden behind their Black Flag records. Ponytail come from the same Baltimore warehouse-party milieu that gave the world Dan Deacon, Cex and Videohippos—although they don’t play any kind of dance music, they go for punk rock at the most physical level, until their rhythms feel almost like a rave, as in the seven-minute “Celebrate the Body Electric (It Came From an Angel).” Best of all, “Sky Drool” pays hilarious tribute to “Edge of Seventeen,” with Siegel turning Stevie Nicks’s oooh baby, oooh baby, oooh refrain into something utterly filthy.
