Spastic Baltimore art-pop crew (and art school security guards) Ponytail have been entertaining us with the longstanding, Walt Whitman sampling "Celebrate The Body Electric" for what seems like eons. It's still sounding great, but it is a relief to know the band's sophomore album Ice Cream Spiritual is finally out this month (via Yeasayer and Indian Jewelry home base, We*Are*Free). In anticipation, here's the rambling, psychedelic, green-screened video for another Ice Cream standout, "Die Allman Bruder." You won't need German to get the references: More like a working knowledge of Southern rock and a Molly Siegel translating dictionary.

Did you notice the band names (jam and otherwise) written on Jeremy Hyman's snare? Dream Theater! Also, in case you forgot the sugar rush of "Celebrate," please take another listen:
