POND - 9. LP [Limited Edition Freo Purple/White Vinyl]

All copies come with a free POND slipmat and pin 

In Pond’s universe nothing stays still for long. Although no one who heard 2019’s “Tasmania” could possibly describe its pulsating psych-pop as straight, Pond wanted to try a more spontaneous way of working for their next record. Taking a leaf out of krautrock outliers Can’s book, at the start of 2020, Pond embarked on a series of totally off-the-cuff jam sessions from which songs and ideas could be pulled out.

 

Given the pace at which ideas whizz past your head, it makes for a dizzying listen. Opener Song For Agnes explodes out the speakers like an intergalactic rock opera, running a synapse-tingling gauntlet through bubbling synth-pop, 80s hair metal and blissed-out saxophone before you know what’s hit you. It’s an opposite curtain-raiser for an album that can encompass pounding techno, elastic hipped robo-funk, tripped out motorik and acres more besides without even stopping for breath. Above all, what you get from “9” is a sense of creative abandon and just plain fun.
