Interview: Ponytail

Ponytail are part of the much-hyped Baltimore music scene (along with the likes of Animal Collective, Dan Deacon, Beach House and many others). Ponytail’s Krautrock inflected punk – evidenced in their incendiary live shows and two acclaimed albums (2006’s Kamehameha and 2008’s Ice Cream Spiritual) - while earning them comparisons with the likes of Deerhoof, is a unique and propulsive sound . Singer Molly Siegel’s unusual vocal antics is the band’s major talking point (she doesn’t sing lyrics, instead, she uses her voice as a rhythmic instrument), but the band’s furious energy has led them to be declared Baltimore’s “best live band”. Bran spoke to guitarist Dustin Wong about being formed by accident, the influence of huayño music, and fitting in solo work.
