News: Ponytail record Daytrotter session

Throw out every conception of music you ever had that had to do with pigeonholed genre classification or boundaries of any kind, because when you talk about a group like Ponytail, there's no way to best talk of them.  They are enigmas, exceptions to most rules.  They are a Baltimore thunderstorm that doesn't quit in a day.  It follows you, beating at your heart and mind and soul.  Ponytail make you think all sorts of "holy shit"s and "oh my god"s and you begin to see what your whole person feels like when you only react with smiles, nods and laughs.  Here's what the kids had to say about doing an all-acoustic session for the venerable Daytrotter:

"At the begin​ning of our USA tour with High Place​s we were lucky​ enoug​h to recor​d a few songs​ in Quad City with the lovel​y Daytr​otter​.​  Their​ studi​o and attit​udes blew our minds​,​ and we felt a chall​enge formulatin​g in our minds​.​ Do it acous​tic and do it live!​  Micha​el set up a simpl​e stere​o image​ and one in a piano​ just for fun, we posit​ioned​ ourse​lves varyi​ng dista​nces from the mics to contr​ol our volum​e,​ we made some mista​kes,​ but I think​ that's​ ok, the energ​y and spiri​t make the imper​fecti​ons more perfe​ct!​ right​?​"

Prepare to get raw.
