Cool Hunting Video Presents: Ponytail by Cool Hunting Video
Baltimore artrock heroes Ponytail have been blowing up basements from MICA to Pratt for a while now. We included them on our Memorial Day Muxtape (R.I.P.) back in May, but we wanted more. In this video, we spend a sweaty summer weekend with Ponytail at shows in Baltimore and Brooklyn and talk shop over homemade omelets at their house and practice space. We’re hoping to make this a series of cooking with bands, and we’re excited to kick it off with Ponytail.

Cool Hunting Video Presents: YACHT
Episode 86 follows grunge-pop superstar YACHT (aka Jona Bechtolt) to a show on an actual yacht, around his Portland, OR apartment and on tour. He shows off his spastic cheerleader-meets-Ian Curtis dance moves, talks tech and introduces his cat and best friend Whiskers. This video is only a glimpse into the life of one of the most promising young, rising laptop rockers out there,...

Something In Spanish
An acomplished Jazz musician and a master at creating the perfect cinematic atmosphere for recent CH videos, Julio Monterrey's main musical project is Something In Spanish. Along with Michelle Perez, Something In Spanish's avant-pop sound fuses elements of '50s pop, exotic lounge, experimental electronic and free jazz. Tonight at MonkeyTown in Brooklyn is Something In Spanish's monthly night there featuring custom videos by m...

Brown Wing Overdrive
Last month I saw Brown Wing Overdrive open for Black Pus (the solo project of Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale). The band—which formed in DC and relocated to NYC—uses electronics, found objects, banjos, duck calls, jaw harps and whatever else they can get their hands on to make jerky, syncopated, yelping noise. At times referencing shamanistic traditions, at others drawing from Kabuki, the band doesn't...

Human Host
If a bunch of monkeys had a bunch of typewriters, they might come up with Shakespeare, but if they had drum machines, broken synths, out-of-tune guitars and old Casio keyboards, they might end up with something that sounds like Human Host. The Baltimore band channels the languid sneer of the Stooges, the absurdist spazz-outs of Men's Recovery Project, and the sproing-y dissonance of Nervous...

Animal Collective: Merriweather Post Pavilion
Named after the music venue just outside their home city of Baltimore, Merriweather Post Pavillion, Animal Collective's ninth album, might be my favorite of theirs thus far. Officially released today, 20 January 2009, over the years the band has meticulously crafted an unmistakable sound which this latest release continues to refine. Where their chants and ambient sounds may have been too avant garde for...
