Outstanding Australian band Pond has released the new album “Terrestrials” along with a feature track + video.
The record is released via the band’s newly coined imprint Mangovision via Secretly Distribution.
To promote the record, the band is on a North American tour and run of dates with Djo including New York’s Forest Hills Stadium. Tickets are on sale now via Pond.band.
Physical pre-order is available now here for “Personal Hellfire” -colored vinyl and CD out June 26.
Pond has released the video for focus track “Skyworks.” The song explores the complicated history of Australia Day and the juxtaposition of public celebrations against the painful history behind its origin.
“The skyworks happen every year on the day Australia was invaded and claimed by the crown,” said frontman Nick Allbrook. “They explode over the river in a gaudy display of drunkenness and patriotism, sponsored by the Lotto. We love a flutter. The river is bejewelled with magical glittering lights, and loud bangs that remind some of canons and muskets.”
Made up of Allbrook, Jay Watson, Joseph Ryan, James Ireland, and Jamie Terry, Pond was formed in 2010 in Fremantle, Western Australia. However, it wasn’t until the release of their 2013 record “Beard, Wives, Denim” that Pond went from a group of musicians and friends to an international touring band.
Today, Pond boasts an impressive catalog of recorded music, spanning 10 albums. Since its beginnings, Pond’s prowess in the live arena has also been well documented. Sharing the stage with artists such as Flaming Lips, Queens of the Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys and more, Pond has also been on major festival lineups worldwide like Glastonbury, Coachella, Splendour in the Grass, and The Great Escape.
