Watch: POND Unleash New Single/Video "Hang a Cross On Me"

Australian psychedelic-pop/rock band POND have unleashed the video for their new single "Hang a Cross On Me".

The song is taken from the deluxe edition of their latest album '9', which will be out on May 20 via Spinning Top Records, featuring 4 new tracks. Pre-order your copy here.

“Hang A Cross On Me was made infinitely cooler by the return of Cowboy John - musician, poet, fashion icon, Poon's Head Studio regular, legend. We got Cowboy to feature on Hobo Rocket back in the day. In both songs he insisted on improvising his own lyrics and on only doing one take, and both, of course, were perfect. He meditates on love, life, the universe and everything with his signature fantastical surrealism and cosmic wonder. It's always a pleasure working with him. He is incredibly rare and brilliant and we love him,” says frontman Nick Allbrook.

POND Announce New LP '9', Share New Single/Video "America's Cup"

Australian psychedelic-pop/rock band POND have announced the release of their new album '9'.

The follow-up to 2019's Tasmania, was produced by POND, and mixed by James Ireland & Jay Watson, it will be out on October 1st via Spinning Top Records. Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about the record, bandleader Nick Allbrook said: “We sort of gave ourselves permission to make something stuffed this time. We’d settled into a pretty tight routine with the last few albums and wanted to shake a boat with this so we started off with filling a few tape reels with some absolutely heinous improvised sonic babble which, after much sifting, became the first few songs of the album. We also wanted to up the tempo.”

“The last few albums have a neat little mantra or repetitive theme. If I was forced to find something like that in 9, I guess it would be ‘biography’ or ‘observation’ — a lot of the lyrics seem to focus on single people’s lives, or the lives of small moments or small things when you zoom real close up and they reveal something deeper. Stuff like my cheap Chinese slippers, or a soiled teddy bear, or Agnes Martin (not to put them in the same category, although maybe Agnes would’ve appreciated it). In the Rorschach test of re-reading lyrics, one thing that sticks out is a fixation on leaving behind a time of golden optimism and uncynical abandon. We can’t look at ourselves the same anymore, and the world we’ve built provides a scary lense for viewing our past.”

Of the new single "America's Cup", he said: "The beat makes me think of a New York street strut, Sesame Street style. But it’s about Fremantle before Alan Bond gave the big ball of gentrification its final shove, when it was cheap and harsh and the broken relics of the pre-87 port city were young, groovy cats in a secret idyll wedged between the river and the sea. It’s also about blokes being different versions of whatever the hell we’ve been taught we’re supposed to be."

Check out the full tracklist  and the video for "America's Cup", below.

01. Song For Agnes

POND Announce New LP 'The Weather', Drop Video For "Sweep Me Off My Feet"

Australian psychedelic-pop/rock band POND have announced the release of their new album titled 'The Weather'

The new record, like their previous full-length, 2015’s Man It Feels Like Space Again, was produced by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, and will be out on  on 5th May through Marathon Artists. Pre-order your copy here.

About the album Nicholas Allbrook says: "It’s a concept album, not completely about Perth, but focusing on all the weird contradictory things that make up a lot of colonial cities around the world. Laying out all the dark things underneath the shimmering exterior of cranes, development, money and white privilege. It’s not our place, but it is our place. British, but Australian, but not REAL Australian. On the edge of the world with a hell of a lot of fucked things defining our little city, still we try and live a wholesome respectful life, while being inherently disrespectful. At the end of all this confusion in our weird little white antipodean world, there’s the beach, purity and nature that brings us all together."

The band have also dropped the video for the album's lead single "Sweep Me Off My Feet".

Check out the full tracklist below, as well as video.

Tracklist:
01. 30000 Megatons
02. Sweep Me Off My Feet
03. Paint Me Silver
04. Colder Than Ice
05. Edge Of The World Pt. 1
06. A/B

According to Mackay, a.k.a. Lord Fascinator, "Probably the hardest part of making this video was finding three elderly citizens who looked identical to what our computer projections told us Jay [Watson], Joe [Ryan] and Nick [Allbrook] will look like in the twilight of their lives. The Jeff Koons inspired inflatable toy band was brilliantly sculpted by our monster maker, Hayley Callander. The conjoined twin scene was a little trickier as we used stem cells from each band member to grow an extra torso and head which we later sewed on. Now, normally this takes about six - eight weeks but thanks to our friend and mentor Professor Vincenzi Vandella we were able to expedite this process in his Juggertron laboratory and have them available within mere hours. The Ben Montero artwork makes the whole thing, really - as well as the characters themselves who, to be honest, I could have just shot walking through the supermarket and it would have been just as weird and funny."
