Ice Cream Spiritual is the second full-length studio album by Ponytail. The album, which was released June 17, 2008[12] has been both praised and criticized for the vocal styles of leader singer Willy Siegel,[13] as they do not use conventional lyrics. The guitar work has drawn comparisons to math rock bands, while the vocals have drawn comparisons to Yoko Ono, for their experimental sound.[14] The first single from the album was "Celebrate the Body Electric", which was released on April 29, 2008.
