About this product
Splatter Bee 2x Vinyl LP 180 gram... Pond are one of the most versatile, inquisitive, and accomplished bands of the psychedelic rock vanguard. The last four Pond albums have been showcases of tidiness and brevity, 10 ideas always tucked into 40 minutes or so. But on Stung!, they gleefully, madly, and wilfully lean into double-LP largesse, tapping the spirit of Tusk and Sign 'O' the Times by funnelling 14 songs into the most unfettered and splendid hour of their recording career. Stung! Delivers some of Pond's most glorious rock songs ever and also some of their least rock moments, all psychedelic drapery or funkvim. In that epic, as in Stung! #at large, Allbrook speaks to our collective modern paradox of being disappointed in or even disconsolate over a world that we know more about than any prior generation but also being in awe of it and (sometimes) each other, too. There are so many reasons to cry and so many reasons to marvel. Can't they all, Pond suggests with Stung!, be reasons to sing? Album Tracks 1. Constant Picnic 2. (I'm) Stung 3. Neon River 4. So Lo 5. Black Lung 6. Sunrise for the Lonely 7. Elf Bar Blues 8. Edge of the World Pt. 3 9. Stars in Silken Sheets 10. Boys Don't Crash 11. O, Uv Ray 12. Last Elvis 13. Elephant Gun 14. Fell from Grace with the Sea

In Pond's universe nothing stays still for long. Although no one who heard 2019's InchTasmaniaInch could possibly describe it's 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 apposite curtain-raiser for an album that can encompass pounding techno (Human Touch), elastic hipped robo- funk (America's Cup), tripped out motorik (Czech Locomotive) and acres more besides without even topping for breath.Take lead single Pink Lunettes, which opens up thumping like ESG eight hours into a session at Berghain before climbing aboard a gargantuan synthship and disappearing off over the horizon.Lyrically, too, 9 takes Pond into uncharted territory. Allbrook's songs here take a more impressionistic tack than before, resulting in both the hilarious one-liners within Human Touch's gonzoid thrash (sample lyric Inchshe was jacking a car but she seemed quite nice so I let her use the toilet in my placeInch) and the social and environmental concerns of blissed out closer Toast, which addressed both last year's bush fires and the appalling wealth divide in Allbrook's childhood home in Western Australia.Above all though, what you get from Inch9Inch is a sense of creative abandon and just plain fun. If it was only a fraction as enjoyable to make as it is to listen to then they must have been having a hoot. Album Tracks 1. Song for Agnes 2.
