PONYTAIL
unleash ICE CREAM SPIRITUAL
There
is not one curmudgeon in the rock business who could go toe to toe
with PONYTAIL'S new full length ICE CREAM SPIRITUAL
and not come out completey elated and ecstatic from the energy and
enthusiasm errupting from the sounds. We'd only go that far with
alliteration if we weren't feeling the same way. This album is truly
SPECTACULAR. The kids are totally alright!!!
ICE
CREAM SPIRITUAL is full contact aerobics.
Its a hedonistic whirlwind for your ears and body. ICE CREAM
SPIRITUAL is the exorcism your stiff loins have been waiting
for. Randomly put together in a class experiment, the four members
of Baltimore's PONYTAIL have stumbled onto what
will be one of the top albums of 2008. We will release together
on June 17th, 2008.
Dig
the catacombs of the WRF site for MP3s,
videos, and a shop
containg ICE CREAM SPIRITUAL.

INDIAN
JEWELRY
release "FREE GOLD!"
In
2006 INDIAN JEWELRY released their debut "Invasive Exotics"
and fired a warning shot that grazed the cheeks and chins of the
early adapters. An affair that was urgent, bloody, and by all means
necessary.
After
almost two years later INDIAN JEWELRY have emerged with their second
album titled "FREE GOLD!," this time aiming their sites
deep into the cavern of the consumer's capitalist spirit. Matured,
calculated, and more urgent than ever, INDIAN JEWELRY have honed
their skill that is barely surface skimmed by others trying to take
hand at the craft.
It
is a monumental pop album, but pop in the INDIAN JEWELRY way. Hooks
buried in drifts of noise, dance grooves, lyrics buried in hazey
blizzards. But, there are even surprises; acoustic guitars, love,
and even some straight shooting. "FREE GOLD!" is beautiful.
It's pissed. It's cool. It's the most important album you'll buy
this year.
Purchase
"FREE GOLD!"

†
New WE ARE FREE home.
It's been a while since we changed our HQ, and though this version
isn't the final saga, its a healthy start. It sometimes gets tough
to keep up when you are busy with the pen and the pad.
We
are very exited about 2008 with plenty of fine releases prepping
for release and some in the chamber and loaded. Riding off a very
fine debut, YEASAYER's "All Hour Cymbals,"
WE ARE FREE will follow with two drop dead full
lengths by INDIAN JEWELRY and PONYTAIL.
†
INDIAN JEWELRY, who recoiled back to the oil soaked mud
of Houston, just finished up their second full length "FREE
GOLD!" It is an astonishing album, completely filled
with pop singles. Yes, INDIAN JEWERLY are still pissed, but this
album has some serious wall-bangers! A digital maxi-single will
be announced shortly followed by the release of "FREE
GOLD!" on May 20th.
† PONYTAIL, fellow residents
of Baltimore USA, also recently finished their second full length,
though this time instead of an afternoon the quartet had a week
to do so. The result? An album that has captured the intensity of
the live show. Given the name "ICE CREAM SPIRITUAL,"
PONYTAIL's second long'n is pure sugarcane spasms
while at the same time as complex as your closet Yes albums. Expect
a sneak peak of the album and a digital single very soon before
their album is released worldwide on June 17th.
† We
are not really sure if you could classify that CONAN O'BRIEN
is a rock critic or not, but he sure did jive with the sounds of
YEASAYER as they played his set up a bit over a
week ago. A solid performance of "2080" from the dudez...hopefully
the link still works...click
