Pond

Pond is an eclectic psychedelic rock band hailing from Perth, Western Australia, known for its vivid experimentation and audacious approach to music. Formed in 2008, the band has seen a rotating cast of members, with its core formed by Nick Allbrook, Jay Watson, and Joe Ryan. The group has frequently been associated with fellow Australian psychedelic rockers Tame Impala due to overlapping members, particularly with Watson's contributions to both outfits. Their music is characterized by a blend of glam, stoner rock, and a willingness to play with genre boundaries, which has earned them a dedicated following within the psychedelic music scene.

Over the years, Pond has cultivated a reputation for their spirited live performances and artistic versatility. With a discography that includes the critically acclaimed albums "The Weather" (2017) and "Tasmania" (2019), Pond has demonstrated a continuous evolution of sound, ranging from the dreamlike reverberations of "Man It Feels Like Space Again" to the sharper, more incisive rhythms found on "9" (2021). Their adventurous nature extends to offbeat reinterpretations of other artists' work, as evident in their covers for the Australian radio station Triple J's Like A Version series, adding a unique Pond flavor to songs like Madonna’s "Ray of Light." As they continue to release music, their live album "Live at the BBC" and the more recent "Pink Lunettes" single showcase a band at the peak of their creative powers, always pushing the envelope and delving into new, uncharted musical territories.
