My Somethingy 10 Tracks of 2011: Ponytail – Easy Peasy

It’s a slow starter (and why are the opening chords so familiar?) but I’m a sucker for the guitars. My love of intricate little guitar patterns set to an insistent beat can be traced to my teenaged love of Mike Oldfield (in fact the guitars in the extended bridge here are SO Oldfield) and later Robert Fripp. This track is far more joyful than either can muster. I haven’t heard this much fun in ages.
