Band: POND
Who: Popular psych-pop-rock
veterans from down under.
New album: TERRESTRIALS
Their 11th. Out on June 19th.
Pre-order info here.
Press info: “Terrestrials is a cyclone of urgent, scorched earth rock’n’roll, tipping
the hat to the sounds of then while squarely facing up to the here and now.
Conceived from a place of reverence for a particularly potent epoch in Oz rock, Terrestrials mines the sound of open sky melancholia, heat haze sizzling on the plains and jangly pub backrooms that hits an eternally poignant nerve for anyone familiar with the sound, time and place.”

DIY Magazine says: “Pond are devised as a group in which anything goes, something that
has always been both their underlying strength and their weakness. They will always exist in their own weird and wonky world, but it’s a place that everyone should visit every once in a while. The band boil everything down to its very essence.”
TUTV: I’m not a steady Pond follower. Mind you, they accomplished some great things
now and then, but overall, to my ears, they were a band playing always, just under the surface of psych guitar pop splendiness. Not bad, not good (enough), until now.
Terrestrials is packed with a string of vigorous firecrackers with Two Hands, Roebuck
Plains, The Fatal Shore, and Tourmaline as the best of many best. For the very first time, these spunky-funky-punky Aussies will crowd my earphones for a long while. Bulletproof entertainment.
