Pond - Tasmania (2019)

Tasmania is the brand new album from the Australian psychedelic-rock adventurers POND, a dejected meditation on planetary discord, machismo, shame, blame and responsibility, love, blood and empire, wrapped in luxurious, funky prog-pop. Once again produced and mixed by Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) and POND, Tasmania encourages us to celebrate the fruits of our planet, frolic in the ocean, kick up the dust, roll in the grass and enjoy the feeling of being in love - while we still can. Tasmania follows the release of 2017's critically-acclaimed record The Weather, which saw the band tour the globe extensively, performing the biggest headline shows of their career thus far with a string of sold out dates. Lauded for their raucous and unpredictable live shows, they have already been confirmed for Primavera Sound Festival 2019, with further dates to be announced soon. Hailing from Perth, Australia's POND formed in 2008 after good friends Joseph Ryan (Mink Mussel Creek), Nick Allbrook (Mink Mussel Creek, Allbrook/Avery, Tame Impala, Peter Bibby & His Bottles of Confidence), and Jay Watson (Tame Impala) hit upon the idea of an all inclusive, ego-free collaborative, so the boys immediately recorded their debut album Psychedelic Mango with a little help from good friend Kevin Parker (Tame Impala). Tasmania is released 1st March 2019 via Marathon Artists (Courtney Barnett, Jagwar Ma). 'Pond, an Australian rock band, toppled the stateliness of Britpop anthems into psychedelic turbulence, melting down grandiose riffs or pushing them toward screaming tantrums.' - New York Times 'Pond celebrated the announcement by sharing the album's opener, 'Daisy.' It's a six minute psychedelic epic, starting with a melancholic string section before heading into alt-pop disco territory.' - Stereoboard 'A meditation on unease, ''Daisy'' finds Pond introducing new sonic elements, while pushing their lyricism into different places.' - Clash
