The sound is bigger too, strengthening a band that's all guitars-drums-vocals sonics -- including Molly Siegel's yelping vocables, without which the sound's faux-tween soul and wise-ass tempo shifts would evanesce into abstraction.
-
With J Robbins producing and the vastly improved sonics, you have a much clearer idea of what everyone is doing. Little things are important with this band, and here, you can actually make them out.
-
Ponytail has rendered Ice Cream Spiritual insidiously infectious--and bursting with an oddly tuneful virtuosity that aches to share rather than show off.
-
Lovably noisy baltimore scallywags come good with their second effort.
-
UncutEven when they slow up, the quality doesn't let up. [Sep 2008, p.100]
-
It is, more than anything else, the sound of a band having too much fun being good to try being great.
-
The result is akin to bottling one of their energetic live shows, and it makes for a thrilling, if not altogether bump-free ride.
