DavidSSep 12, 2008Pure emotion. Awesome and a hell of a lot of fun. Somehow the album works perfectly, for what it is.

JyotirmayaD.Aug 10, 2008I love the pandemonium on this album... it's for lovers with a wide vision of what punk should sound like. Molly Seigal's primal vocals sound great alongside the two guitars (no bass) and wild drumming... It's all over the place and crazy, but it is tight at the same time.

OliverC.Aug 2, 2008Perhaps not quite as good as the reviews, but certainly satisfying for the noise rockers in all of us

AndrewJ.Jul 30, 2008At first, the "vocals" put you off, drifting as they do into Yoko Ono territory, but there's just something infectious about it. The entire sound works somehow as an instrumental record--as if the yelps and squeals were just another instrument.

matthewgAug 25, 2008this is a solid landing that shows a polished run on all chips in approach; theres nothing dispassionate about this album. i cant wait for this to hit wax.

MattM.Sep 15, 2008This album is fantastic! Every song is just as good as the last, and for me the vocals put it over the top. If anything they sound like deerhoof. These songs are surprisingly catchy. Beg Waves!

At times, the album's extended jams get a bit wearing, but Ice Cream Spiritual! shows that Ponytail's music is still equal parts challenging, melodic, and fun.

It is, more than anything else, the sound of a band having too much fun being good to try being great.

Not recommended for people with heart conditions or pregnant mothers, but for those of you looking for visceral thrills, this is it.
