New Music From Tame Imapala's Funky Australian Cousin
Do you love the psychedelic mantras of Tame Impala but think it needs a bit more funk and a bit more hard rock? Welcome to the trip-inducing world of Australian four-piece Pond. When it comes to their songs, there are no rules. Expect some crazy, eccentric, and loud songs if you plan on delving into their eclectic catalog.
This week they released a brand new single in the lead-up to their new album dropping on May 5th. By Pond's standards, this track is relatively tame, but the funky baselines and atmospheric vocals remain characteristic of past efforts. This is a vibe perfect for your next highway cruise, so turn it up next time you're trippin' (pun intended.)
For those of you that need a little more pond in your life, here is one of the best from their first album, Beards, Wives, Denim. Keep an eye out for an unexpected time signature change and some incredibly catchy guitar work.
