Sunny skies, beaches, women, beer and a kick-ass band playing while you enjoy it all .... and let that band be a side-project of Tame Impala who simply go by the name of Pond. A collective featuring two of Tame's members Nick Allbrook and Jay Watson who hold down the rhythm section. They simply may have just released the best psychedelic album since 'Innerspeaker' which is currently still in heavy heavy rotation. ' Beard, Wives, Denim ' will be released on March 6th via Modular, but you can stream the forthcoming lp in full below. Check for ' Leisure Pony [...]
Hype Machine are offering a full stream of Pond's new album, Beard, Wives, Denim. Out March 6th, the thirteen tracks comprise the second album from the Australian-based Pond, which includes members more known for their work in Tame Impala. Their 2010 release, Innerspeaker (2010: #16), still gets plenty of plays from me, as does Pond's
Aussie psych-rock power-trio Pond, who share two members with Tame Impala, have spent the past few months convincing us that they know how to conjure a fluttery, sun-dazed desert-rock vibe that would do their sister band proud; check the songs " Fantastic Explosion Of Time ," " Moth Wings ," and " Mystery " for evidence. Right now, their entire new album Beard Wives Denim is streaming online. You'll find it after the jump. Read More...
Man, what a wild week. And I'm not talking about the wild you indie folk are used to, likely boozing it up and partying every night. I'm talking about the working life, the stress of the job, the busy days and exhaustion-laden nights. Going to bed at 9:30; I feel old. So on Fridays, I look forward to cutting loose. I needed something epic this week. Something loud, raucous, and rambunctious. And I found it in this playlist. At the studio, 10 pm, the lights are dim [...]
'Mystery' is the latest cut off Pond 's forthcoming album Beard, Wives, Denim . It's a woozy, psychedelic stumble through a sunburned outback.
Melt, the full length debut from Young Magic , out on Carpark Records , is now available to stream. continue reading >>
I am a big fan of progressive and psychedelic music - Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree - but never really researched it enough to get to know many more bands than what I've listed. However, I am tired of listening to the same old stuff, so I want to discover more bands from this genre. Help me, Captain Awesome! Anvith *** Anvith, Not a problem my awesome friend. I must admit, I've never actually heard of Porcupine Tree, but I am a huge [...]
Pond are a three piece straight outta Perth. You may well have heard the name before, and perhaps the sound. That's probs coz two thirds of Pond are Nick and Jay from mega superstars Tame Impala. It's big fuzzed out riff heavy rock'n'roll. I'm not a massive fan of Tame Impala...but I'm liking Pond. You can [...]
Después de hacernos explotar con su primer sencillo " Fantastic Explosion Of Time ", Pond nos regala su nuevo sencillo "Moth Wings". El nuevo disco Beards, Wives, Denim saldrá el próximo 6 de marzo. Enjoy. ♩ Pond - Moth Wings
Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana começou algo tardia mas foi repleta de boas apostas em termos de novidades musicais e também no regresso ao passado onde fui recuperar temas bastante bons de bandas igualmente boas. A abrir a semana de forma apaixonada e indie-criativa os britânicos Whales in Cubicles
A famous psychologist once said that the flow of ideas work a lot like the process of contagious yawning – when one person sees or reads an idea they tend to talk about it and spread it on. While that may be obvious enough, one can see how cities would be the peak of this idea – more people in closer contact in a smaller space will tend to spread the "yawn" faster. This is my theory on why, while recently visiting Amsterdam, I was able to discover so much great new music I never heard of before – including [...]
We were fortunate enough to sit down and chat with Alex from one of the most exciting bands of 2012, Harriet . Check out what he had to say about branching off on his own, Jeff Tweedy and James Murphy's love child, and sleeping with your mom. 1. Tell us how Harriet came together? I had started writing all of these songs (on the upcoming EP) around the beginning of this year. I had been playing with a few other people, and had been jamming with Darren (drummer from [...]
I believe that everyone has a happy place. It's that place you can go to clear your head, breathe a little easier and take on life at a slower pace. The place where it is hard to not be happy. Of course, it doesn't have to be just one place, and sometimes that place changes. Before I lived in San Francisco, Yellow Springs, Ohio was my happy place. When I was a young kid I'd go hiking in John Bryan State Park with my brothers, I'd hang out with friends at the Cemetery Road covered bridge, and inhale [...]
Happy New Year GS! Hope it was rad for all of you and you all found someone hot to make out with when the clock struck 12. So before we all get swept away with the delicious new releases 2012 is going to be offering us - because seriously, with the imminent rise in Oliver's amazingness, The Magician continuing to magically find his way into our hearts (and pants) and whoever else is planning to blow our minds, this year is going to be very big in music - [...]
Género: Psychedelia, Pop, Rock. Más aussies. El primer raspado de guitarra les delata, se nota la mano de Jay Watson y Nick Allbrook en Pond , su proyecto paralelo a Tame Impala . Beard Wives Denim será su largo previsto para marzo del 2012, pero mientras tanto nos adelantan Fantastic Explosion Of Time , psicodélica y garajera a partes iguales, sirve para imaginar con lo grande que puede llegar a ser ese esperado disco. Pond - Fantastic Explosion [...]
2011 is over and done with, so this means, no last minute releases and hopefully no songs I have forgotten about - which I'm sure I have. I didn't do a top albums list this year, only because nothing in particular amazed me, however particular songs did. So before you continue reading onto my top [...]
Looking for that pick me up to finish out the week? Enter Jagwar Ma, the Aussie act who's 'Come Save Me' tune just makes you want to bust some serious dance moves and makes the day a whole lot better. Vintage 602s vibe, handclaps and a soothing melody = SOLD! Enjoy the lovely Jono Ma and Andrew Lancaster directed visuals up above. Jagwar Ma - 'Come Save Me'
Hookworms are a collective from Leeds and they're fulfilling all of our psychedelic needs today with their brilliant track 'Teen Dreams.' The single is a part of their self titled Ep which is available now . Hookworms - Teen Dreams

Tweet vaso link Tame Impala was a favorite of both Andy's and mine in 2010, so an email sent to conjure thoughts of Innerspeaker was strategically placed in our inbox, even if the comparison was not specifically meant for us. Truth be told, the comparison to fellow Australian trio Pond rings true enough, though to my ears their sound is not nearly as polished. Regardless, a lengthy tour in support of Tame Impala in addition to sharing the same record label lends [...]
Pond , like some of their Tame Impala band members,(Nick Allbrook and Jay Watson), reign from Perth in Western Australia. And it comes as no surprise that they channel a similar psychedelic rock vibe. Check out "Fantastic Explosion of Time" below, we like it A L O T! Can't wait to hear more from their upcoming album, Beard Wives Denim is out 3/6 on Modular .
